ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, has secured its 16th "Advanced+" rating by AV-Comparatives, an independent research organization. Of the 16 products tested in its August "On-Demand" test, only seven were awarded "Advanced+."
AV-Comparatives provides a three-level ranking system of Standard, Advanced and Advanced+ award. To receive an "Advanced+" rating, a product must be rated with not only an excellent detection rate, but also a low false positive rate.
To measure for effective detection, the products were "frozen" and measured by the same updates and signatures they had on August 10th with the highest detection settings used.
"ESET continues to be one of our most consistent performers, across an array of environments" said Andreas Clementi, founder and chief researcher for AV-Comparatives. "ESET has always been very effective at detecting current threats, and its impressive testing record continues to reflect this."
ESET's industry-leading products, including the popular NOD32 Antivirus and ESET Smart Security, deliver a significant improvement over traditional solutions in the marketplace today. Powered by ThreatSense® technology, ESET's products combine speed, accuracy and minimal system impact. The advanced heuristics engine enables proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most frequently updated signature-based products. Unlike traditional approaches, ESET solutions use an emulated environment to decode and analyse executable code in real-time. By allowing malware to execute in a secure virtual world, ESET is able to clearly differentiate between benign files and even the most sophisticated and cleverly-disguised malware.
