Test of 16 Anti-Virus Products Says None Rates "Very Good"
An anonymous reader writes "AV-Comparative recently released the results of a malware removal test in which they evaluated 16 anti-virus software solutions. The test focused only on the malware removal/cleaning capabilities, therefore all the samples used were ones that the tested anti-virus products were able to detect. The main question was if the products were able to successfully remove malware from an already infected/compromised system. None of the products performed at a level of 'very good' in malware removal or removal of leftovers, based on those 10 samples."
They said AV-Comparative.org in the article. Try going there and see what happens. The correct site is av-comparatives.org.
Of course, half of the software they tested is not anti-Malware software (Avast, for example, is an AV, not an Anti-Malware).
They also did not test MalwareBytes, probably because it would make all of the others look bad.
