Another independent test of
Microsoft's
OneCare
anti-malware suite will make grim reading in Redmond.
OneCare came last in a survey of 17 security software packages, picking up
only 82.4 per cent of the 500,000 pieces of malware used in the test. All but
one of the other packages scored over 90 per cent.
"Microsoft OneCare performed very low in the test and did not reach the
minimum requirements for participation," said the report from independent
testing site
AV
Comparatives. "Its inclusion in future tests this year will have to be
re-evaluated."
OneCare performed particularly badly in detecting Trojans and backdoors,
picking up only 79.6 per cent of attacks, and the package finished last in all
three detection tests.
The overall winner of the group test was
G
Data's
AntiVirusKit,
which detected 99.45 per cent of all threats.
Most of the other top five packages use multiple scanning engines to assess
threats.
