It’s clear that the negative comments about Agnitum (or this test) were written by people who don’t understand the purpose of the test.For those of us who do understand,Agnitum has a superior product and is to be congratulated.

Which program do you use to record the video? I really wonder…

Your videos are great! We don’t like ESET NOD32 either.

Good demonstration. Can you test also Bitdefender antivirus/internet security, Norton, Eset antivirus, kaspersky antivirus?

You people Do Not Understand what he is trying to show us,what he attempts to show us is the capabilities of non signiture based detection,of course it could be stopped by signitures(if there is a signiture for the malware sample) but these days. signitures are not enough to provide enough defense.

Thank you for your video. From your video, we found that Outpost can successfully block the malwares’ attack at the very first beginning. How about if Outpost Firewall Pro is installed on a PC which has been infected with those testing malwares, is Outpost able to remove them all ? Can you record another video clip to demonstrate that ?

Neither did outpost detect any threat in this test. A popup that always ask for permission regardless of a threat or not is not detection…..it’s just annoying. A good security program should detect threats and if no one is found never bother you. Even i could create an application that ask for permission whatever you do, but that’s not security….it’s useless.
Also how should anyone distinguish a threat from a clean file with a warning that says “Application is attempting to modify a critical object”? This sounds serious in any case and if i start an application and see this message…how should i know if the file is infected or if this is normal behavior of the application?

A tailor-made test with a single file performed by an Agnitum employee have no credibility what so ever.

What a useless test. All of the products would have stopped the threat if all of the modules where activated. So who cares how it’s stopped as long as they all would have stopped the threat in real life.

Also unless i’m wrong the tester works for Agnitum….it’s like Microsoft testing Windows vs Linux…..i wonder if Linux could ever win that test.

If the anti malwares hadn’t been disabled surely Eset and KIS would not have been infected!

So although obviously a sales tool for Agnitum Proactive defense it should not mean the other 2 would not protect a user.
