How evaluate or make comparatives with another Antivirus?

Postby cmora » Sat Feb 16, 2008 3:03 pm

Hi.

Actually i have a hard battle with another Antivirus local reseller, because they offer Nod32 and we offer eScan.

Looking for some "independent" Antivirus Comparatives I found this info

http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/e ... port16.pdf

Apparently, only Nod32 can offer the best results and performance.

I do some test in my PC, formatting a HD and installing only the OS (XP Pro sp2) and the antivirus to test. With this scenarie, I start to search virus in internet; visit the "dark side"; sites related with cracks, porn, malware, free msn emoticons, etc.

With Nod32 installed, i can download cracks, and install the msn emoticons (smyle-central). When i try to open the cracks, saved in the desktop, the Antivirus start the alert (but the infected file continue in the desktop). I start the messenger, and I have all the new emoticons. Run the antivirus scanning, and fond 8 infected files.

I do the same test with eScan AV (format the HD, install XP Pro and just the antivirus, and try to access again to the dark side), try to download the same cracks, but escan start the antivirus alert; try to download the msn emoticons, and dont be downloaded: i check the antivirus monitor statistics, and see 47 files detected.

so, if the comparatives say some info, and i experiment another results, how can i demostrate or provide real and Unquestionable reasons to my potential clients about the eScan features?

thanks in advance
