Thanks a lot for solving my problem! Thanks to AVG for the immediate help! AVG Guru. You need to sign in to do that. However, its score of 6.
AVG detected all of the threats that use rootkit technology and scored 6. The majority of current products detected all of my scareware samples. Malwarebytes scored a perfect 10, thoroughly cleaning up scareware. AVG was close behind with 9. This is quite an impressive showing, and it parallels the dynamic test results from the labs.
AVG uses real-time scanning for known threats as well as a behavior-monitoring tool that they call "identity protection". In addition, its LinkScanner component protects against dangerous Web sites.
Specifically, its Surf-Shield module blocks exploits and "complex online threats", and Search-Shield marks dangerous links in popular search engine results. An additional LinkScanner component called Online Shield isn't enabled in the free edition, so I wasn't surprised to find no URLs blocked when I attempted to re-download my current malware collection. When I opened a folder containing those same samples, AVG quickly wiped out nearly 60 percent of them.
It caught all but a couple of the rest either immediately on launch or during the install process. Only Trustport, with 97 percent, detected more. AVG's malware blocking score of 8. Of products tested with this same collection, G Data's 9.
Almost all of the current products have detected percent of rootkit samples, and more than half have detected percent of the scareware samples. AVG detected percent in both tests. It scored 8. G Data and Trustport share the top rootkit blocking score, 9. While AVG's malware blocking scores aren't quite as high as its removal scores, they're still very good. Limited Phishing Protection The SurfShield component also aims to keep users from accidentally visiting phishing sites, but it's not as effective as the antivirus protection.
That's just a few points better than last year's model. AVG scored 16 percentage points higher than Internet Explorer alone. However, IE had a really bad week for phishing detection. Its detection rate typically averages about 40 points behind Norton; this week it was 75 points behind.
