Quote:During July and August 2018 we continuously evaluated 18 home user security products using their default settings. We always used the most current publicly-available version of all products for the testing. They were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.

All you need to do is see the MTAC section (or ZOO there) to see how many of these tests have the same as real protection.

Eset not there! WOW! I'm surprised!

I would like to see tests of AE, SRP and HIPS programs, which are probably better at dealing with 0-day threats than typical av files with signature databases.

Me too! but the con of HIPS is in general that are user dependent, and average users probably will go wrong blocking/allowing...

You're right, when I tried SpyShelte for the first time, I got crazy with constant prompts. Now I'm glad that it's calling for everything, because I know which application behaves suspiciously.
