AV-Comparatives [ PUA Test 2010 ] Report Released

[SAMEERA]

Potentially Unwanted Applications

The amount of adware, spyware and other fraudulent software circulating on the Internet has increased a great deal over the past few years. Such applications are not typical malware and their classification is sometimes not an easy task; they are usually described using the term “potentially unwanted application” (PUA). Under some circumstances, certain “potentially unwanted applications” are accepted/wanted in some countries, depending on cultural background or legal system, due to which legal disputes sometimes come up as to whether a program can be considered to be malware or not. The term “potentially unwanted” covers this grey area.

Symentec is well known for PUA detection but Panda score is exciting. They are improving very much.

MSE did not perfomed very well.
I'm not suprised.

Any user should use MalwareBytes' Antimalware pro or SuperAntispyware pro along side one's own resident antivirus to prevent PUA in my opinion.

Thank you for heads up

Again AVG has not participated for this test also.

Again AVG has not participated for this test also.

May be they are having some internal maintenance. Frequent FP issue is an indication of that.
