How Good Is Your Anti-virus/anti-trojan?

[DVD PIRATE III]

Ok some of you will have seen my earlier thread about firewall testing, so ive decided to check Anti-Virus/anti-trojan software as well
This mule link is a virus package with nearly 600 Trojans & Viruses, download it Extract the contents somewhere, and run your best Antivirus/Anti-trojan software and lets seperate the men from the boys.im trying to get this pack hosted somewhere (1.62MB) so people can have a direct download instead of it being limited to the mule users,edonkey, overnet users etc..if you can help out that would be great..The files only 1.6MB
when you extract the contents of this package you may need to disable real time protection or the extraction will fail..Then enable real time protection and scan for all your worth

EDIT: further down this post Ultimatejester has hosted this for me..thanks goes out to this guy
ed2k://|file|455.Viren.(virus.virii.collection).rar|1702323|20CC4F482C202A570C0E6C6914724FC7|/


EDIT...The password for this rar file is "danger"

THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR SCAREDY CATS...THESE ARE LIVE VIRUSES/TROJANS.DO NOT OPEN THEM..JUST HAVE YOUR VIRUS SCANNER SCAN THE FOLDER ONCE YOUVE UN-RARED IT..ITS RARED WITH A PASSWORD SO THERES NO MISTAKES AND ACCIDENTAL DOUBLE CLICKS..

wait so you download it then extract 500 virus onto ur comp? or are they on a file and you scan the file? if its a file what would happen if u accidently open and get 500 virus at once?

[100%]

nearly 600 Trojans & Viruses?
How many exactly? Because lets say my AntiV protector spots 600 viruss and there actually 605 that means bad news.

Question2-if i do this-and my antivirus protector fails on afew viruss - does that mean im infected....?

[100%]

and get 500 virus at once? :lol:
my thoughts exactly

[DVD PIRATE III]

The files rared ok...what you do is extract it to say your desktop..a folder will appear with all the viruses, trojans inside.DONT BE CLEVER AND GO TRYING TO DOUBLE CLICK THE VIRUSES..Once thats done run your virus/trojan scanner over the file and lets post ya results..
If I was gonna fuck anyone over it wouldve happened by now with the firewall test..ill give you a link to the creators website, but i hope you can read german...lol

heres a better idea..you all know Agent Smith who created the k-Lite update thing right?...hes run this test already i think..pm him and ask..

[100%]

thanx

your extracting a folder which contains the virii..just scan the folder with ya antivirus/anti trojan

[muchspl2]

I tried to get this but it would never connect
I want this, anyone want to send it to me, I will host it

[ultimatejester]

Right click and save target as:
needs renaming to .rar (http://a.1asphost.com/adama/455.Viren.(virus.virii.collection).torrent)
Doest need renaming but oly 250 mb bandwidth. If it doest work use the first link (http://ultimatejester.250free.com/new/viriicollection.rar)

@DVD PIRATE III, what av&#39;s and anti trojans passed (if any)?

[CPU1]

can some one try symantec antivirus corporate

[DVD PIRATE III]

nortons corporate never passed either but dont take my word for it..test it for ya selves... B)

[CPU1]

i wonder which av passed

[DVD PIRATE III]

Ive tested just about every virus program known to man and I only found one that found all 593 viruses...

Ive got some good tests for Windows and Office exploits if everyones keen after this test is finished...
Any takers?

[CPU1]

ill take it

[DVD PIRATE III]

I thought you would...lol

[SP1]

AVG 7.0 detects 562, which is rather dissapointing... im interested on the one that passed as i mite consider changing my av.

so... which one did pass?

Im just waiting for sharedholder and balamm to give us there results...lol
Then ill tell ya the virus scanner that i found that managed to uncover all 593 viruses

[infamousalbo101]

Ill give you my resuslts with sharepros scanner

[balamm]

Norton Corp, newest with all updates, immediately quarantined 292 files out of a total 594 files. The rest, 302, are not a threat.

If your AV starts deleting or quarantining all your executables because they have some potential, then it&#39;s going a bit too far. If it misses a known virus when I execute it, then I&#39;ll worry. That hasn&#39;t happened yet and it&#39;s not likely to.

Paranoia doesn&#39;t make up for common sense and education. Most of these files are simple batch commands that could never do anything unless you allowed them to. Any program you download has that same potential. As long as your AV pops up a warning asking what the fuck you&#39;re doing :P when you try to run or install one of these, then there&#39;s no risk.
Hell, I could type some malicious code out in notepad and rename it, Should My AV then delete it? It beter not. Same thing here. No worries. :)

[sharedholder]

So , i found a good proggie :D again. :lol:

Edit , Hello Balamm :) i&#39;m talking about eScan. :lol:

Just because Nortons didnt recognise them as a threat doesnt mean theyre not..you try double clicking on one of the ones that it didnt see as a threat and see what happens..


I didnt think so...lol

[DVD PIRATE III]

Ok ill be back soon with my Windows and Office exploits real soon like if everybodys all keen?

i hope this enlightened people to what is out there and that you cant be too careful
Cheers to everyone who participated in these "testers" and shoutouts to UltimateJester for hosting the virus package for me..top stuff mate

[Keikan]

wow AVG sucks

so what would happen if you ran all of these at the same time?

[Wizzandabe]

Well it cleaned some, and quarentened others, all caught.

[DVD PIRATE III]

someone with nortons start executing the so called "not a threat to nortons" (all 302 of them)viruses and see what happens please ..back up what youve posted..if you trust in your antivirus that well then youve got nothing to lose...

I eagerly await your results :D

[DVD PIRATE III]

Wizz & Balamm..i smell something funny..lol

And no one wants to take me up on my offer to execute these so called "non threats to nortons"? Balaam?i thought youd be at the front of the pack the way you were going on about it
In future please refrain from posting shit if your not prepared to back it up..i hate mouth offs.. :angry:

You won&#39;t learn until you try these things. Grab the bull by the horns so to speak. Too many people are not getting clued up these days and it&#39;s scary. Just ensure you take precautions and listened to everyone&#39;s advice previous and you should be fine. I&#39;m interested what results you&#39;d get also...

I can tell ya but I wont...

Dropper:
Any program which, when run, installs another program. A common kind of dropper is a virus dropper, which when run will install a virus in the machine.&nbsp;


Most of the remaining files were droppers. Not viruses themselves, but they could install a virus.
I guess I gotta get an anti dropper program now too :lol: :lol: :lol:

[longboneslinger]

Hmmm......using Avast Home Edition (Freeware). It got 582...not toooo bad, I

Thanks for backing up what you said and testing it...
thats all i asked...
These tests are just "theory" tests and for the average home user etc that no nothing about this sort of stuff these are real life scenarios. so the point of these test exercises was to make people aware of stuff, so we&#39;ll leave it at that...

Edit: gotta go edit my other post...lol

[Mik3ll]

Ok, I did it, McAfee found all but 6.

http://www.chinkii.com/uploads/album/guys/viriiscan.JPG

EDIT: Does anyone know why it says I scanned 621 files?

[SeK612]

As I extracted the files (drag and dropped from win RAR) my AV program (norton 2004) started poping up messages about the viruses (see below). Some of them it fixed others it couldn&#39;t. I think it got everything...

http://www.sek612.netfirms.com/virus.jpg

[Mik3ll]

You should disable it while you extract them, then enable then scan the folder.

[longboneslinger]

&nbsp; You should disable it while you extract them, then enable then scan the folder



Disabling your AV might not be to bad an idea. I forgot to disable Avast and it went NUTS when I started downloading the .rar. Not the first time I&#39;ve seen the virus pop-up, but I aint never seen it scroll :D &#33; It scrolled for a while, too&#33; Damn.....

As for those scared of catching a virus, been there, done that....my first was the Stealth_b boot virus. Anybody remember that little gem? Hmm.... :01: I still got a copy on a floppy from college. It&#39;s in a copy of VGAPlantets. Can&#39;t finsh the game cuz of it......ah well. :rolleyes:

wait so this virus stuff is safe right? :smilie4:

[nostalgia]

ok. dowloading now. will test it with AVG7 pro without heuristic and with and also
Kaspersky.
results will follow.

edit: Results.
Well First I&#39;d like to pronounce the injury I just got. It&#39;s called RSI for prssing a lot of OK&#39;s during the tests.
Here are the results of the jury. Kaspersky 4.5.0.94 let me down beyond words. Maybe I just didn&#39;t configure Kaspersky the right way but scanning 594 files and finding only 75&#33; is totally out of order. Kaspersky is now deinstalled.

AVGPro7 (7.0.209) scanned 602 files (?) and found 562. This is a scare but I think I can explain that due to the many trojans in the test.
Although anti-virus manufacures try to make an all-round programm, the fact still is they are anti-virus and not specialized in trojans. So if an anti-virus programm doesn&#39;t recognises a trojan it is not the end of the world bur surely it is a sign to get a good trojanhunter.

It seems that the majority of us using Norton & McAfee are catching all BUT 6 in our tests, aside from those using other AV software...

nostalgia - I think it&#39;s time to find a better AV, your results are appalling.

So... these 6 that the 2 main AV did not detect, someone mentioned these as &#39;droppers&#39;. Would this mean Norton and McAfee came top of the league?

i used to use that nortons, but it was to resource hogging...mind you i had a shitty computer back then.Now i got a raid setup/mirror image on a real beast of a machine i must try it again when i get some time

I updated to System Works 2004 pro and was very disapointed. It hoggs resources, constantly deletes my hacking/cracking tools even when I exclude its folder and files, and was too much of a pain in the ass.

I un-installed it and went back to Norton System Works 2003 :)

Anyone No which is better Norton Anvirus 03/04 or Norton Corporate Edition?
I have heard alot of people saying that coporate edition is better and to stay away from regular norton.

Someone please elaborate.

The corporate edition is better because don&#39;t eat all resources like Norton Antivirus does. ;)

[excalis]

I just wanted to know if Norton anti-virus has better defense and detection than corporate edition, I don&#39;t care about resources cause it only takes about 2% cpu and 12 mb memory.

Do they use the same core engine?

Pc-cillin is a joke.

[DWk]

Stay away from Norton - use McAfee or AVG. :01:

[DVD PIRATE III]

Did no one take this package to a website that does online scanning?
Ive been waiting for someone to post to that effect

[ultimatejester]

Anybody wanna tell me what&#39;s wrong with norton. It caught 600 on mine. Everyfile is infected except readme.txt

[excalis]

McAfee is very bad to have. Its process threads can be easily killed with a simple executible. One day I used a .vbs file and mcafee got killed. Most viruses have a built in code to shut down Vshield and disable startup. Even if the proccess is killed in Norton its still active in the kernel memory and will still protect. Avg is average at best.

Norton & Zonealarm are unbeatable together.

My results fared as well as the majority. Extremely disappointing for NAV2004Pro. Now that we have all been "manly men" and taken this little challenge, how about sharing the gruesome details as to which trojans and/or viruses these AV applications seem to be clueless at detecting? <_<

Personally, I think the best defense for all of us and our respected AV programs would be just to avoid the damnable things altogether. And I would appreciate knowing what exactly to avoid if I can possibly help it. ;)

Ahh, the beauty of Norton "Corporate". Much more lightweight and effective then thoose bloated resource hogging versions of Norton pro etc.B)

Actually I tried clicking on quite a few and some of them are not what I would consider viruses.

I only clicked on the ones that I was familiar with and knew would not do any harm.

But you dont want your av being paranoid and calling things viruses that in effect really are not. :01:

Btw, dont try that at home. A lot of thoose babies are pretty dangerous.

[DVD PIRATE III]

Its pretty much the ones ya dont know about that cause havoc..cause if ya antivirus doesnt know/detect them then..thats a fair indication that the(Antivirus Program/AntiTrojan Program) is in need of updating there definitions.
Ive run all of them on a old computer I hooked up at home..lots of re-installs via Norton Ghost :lol:

Notice the word triple is spelled wrong. Please don&#39;t worry about it.

[excalis]

Did anyone out there try changing the options in Norton from the default level of protection to highest level of Bloodhound Heuteristics? It catches way more viruses that way. Mine deleted all the quarantined files in Pc-cillin, Pc-cillin doesn&#39;t do a very good job of quarantining viruses. Also enable quarantine if unsuccessful option in Norton, that way threats are more likely to be eliminated.

[nanotek]

just used the free version of avg and it found 562 viruses edit : nod32 told me that the archives were damaged so that it could not check the viruses

Al the virus in there don&#39;t have much information on the web they&#39;re unknown viruses, the one that didn&#39;t make it big ;)

turn off the virus scanner so it can extract?
haha, but isnt the purpose of a strong antivirus to kill a virus before it infects?
Once it infects, you have a lower chance of removal.

hmmm well my nortons scan was exactly the same it found 590 viruses and fixed 300 and wanted me to quarinteen all the others execpt 2 and there was 1 it couldnt get rid off, but i just deleted it

i think thats pretty good, thats about 98% detection rate which is acceptable even in the antivirus industry, i think its more important that your av gets it right most of the time and doesnt have false positives, which by the way are what the other files are that arnt detected, they are a base line if you get all 600 files detected as viruses then your a/v program is just average and might just start detecting important stuff on your comp that aint virus at all

mcafee 7.0 pro found 591 deleted all per my request wtf are the other 3??
