Most antivirus tools will catch around half the samples at this point ESET just caught 15 percent of them.

ESET went right to work, eliminating those it recognized on sight as malware. Next I opened a folder containing those same threats.

A couple times ESET asked to reboot for full removal even though the file was deleted before it ever had a chance to execute. That's pretty good, though Trend Micro managed 89 percent.

Between URL-level blocking and detection of malicious files immediately upon download it blocked 81 percent of them. I tried downloading my current malware collection again-at least, those with URLs that are still valid. If the connection attempt was made through the browser it displays a warning in the browser as well. It blocks all applications from connecting to known malicious URLs, displaying a transient popup to report what it did. Malware Blocking Problems ESET's protection against new malware infestation starts with the incoming Internet connection. For an explanation of how I boil down a product's behavior into a malware removal score see How We Test Malware Removal.ĮSET NOD32 Antivirus 5 malware removal chart ESET detected 88 percent and scored a so-so 5.3 points for rootkit removal. Quite a few products tested with the current sample set also detected 100 percent of the threats that use rootkit technology. Norton and Malwarebytes both managed a perfect 10 on the scareware test. Like many of the current antivirus products, ESET detected 100 percent of the scareware (rogue antivirus) samples and scored 9.5 points for scareware removal. Norton AntiVirus 2012 ($39.99 direct, 4.5 stars) had a slightly lower detection rate, but better cleanup earned it the top removal score of 7.1 points. I'd prefer a simple list of threats found, with the individual file and Registry traces hidden by default.ĮSET detect 88 percent of the threats, the same as AVG, and scored 6.5 points for malware removal, also the same as AVG.

That's faster than Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Free 1.51 (Free, 4 stars) (14 minutes) and AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012 (Free, 4 stars) (16 minutes). An in-depth scan of the hard drive and operating memory on my standard clean test system finished in 13 minutes. Good Malware Cleanup With those problems out of the way, testing went quickly.

The script successfully wiped out this persistent threat, but I would have been more impressed had an in-house tool accomplished that feat. After evaluating the logs they supplied a script for a third-party tool called The Avenger. Tech support instructed me to gather logs and use ESET's built-in SysInspector tool. Something similar happened in my testing of Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus+ 2012 ($39.95 direct, 2.5 stars). After reboot it did the exact same thing again and again, without end. On a third system ESET asked for a reboot to finish wiping out a particular threat. Once again a Safe Mode scan solved the problem.

Another system stuck in a similar fashion, and the icons vanished from ESET's display. Fortunately scanning in Safe Mode solved the problem. I went around this circle five or six times, with a different file each time, before giving up. I took this as a possible clue that ESET caused the hangup by suspending Windows Explorer, though I couldn't prove it. At that point a message from ESET appeared warning that Explorer was attempting to access a virus and requesting another reboot. I got it working again by using Task Manager to kill and restart Windows Explorer. That initial reboot is no problem in itself, but one of those systems became unresponsive after rebooting. On over half the systems the real-time protection module requested a reboot to finish cleaning up an active threat immediately after installation.
