Re: ESET NOD32 Ranked 26th Most Effective Antivirus Tools Against New Malware by SRI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Honeypots are prone to catching corrupted files, we've seen this many times in the past.
ESET does not detect corrupted files. A serious tester provides the samples used in his test to AV vendors for verification.
I'm not aware of ESET being contacted by that tester.
2. A test set comprising of 1030 files is too small IMHO, compared to about 800-900,000 samples used by other testers
and given the fact that dozens of thousands of new threats emerge on a daily basis.
