Estonia discovers security tests
For the first time we found an Estonian security software test, done by the website Ekaitse.ee. 15 different programs were reviewed with Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit running in a virtual machine and Windows Defender and UAC both turned off. All 15 anti Malware tools had to show their capabilities five days long with 20 samples each day, making a total of 100 threats.
The result differs a bit from most of the tests we have seen:
1st place: Comodo Internet Security 5.0
2nd place: G-DATA AntiVirus 2011
3rd place: Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5.0
4th place: BitDefender AntiVirus 2011
5th place: F-Secure AntiVirus 2011
6th place: Vipre AntiVirus 4.0
7th place: Kaspersky AntiVirus 2011
8th place: ESET NOD32 AntiVirus 4.2
9th place: Avira AntiVir Personal 10
