Sophos v9 detection rate not improving?

georgegates5

Hey there base on this test report by an individual, it seems that your detection rate has not improved and there are a few locations/files that you miss.. Avast seems to be improving their detection rate. Could you update your database/scan engine to improve the detection rate at those missing location/files

April's detection rate

Other vendors also seem to use this results and it seems that F-secure improve its detection rate once after those results are release

    Update on getting the malware samples not covered by Sophos in the latest testing from Security Spread.

    ruckus, this is a list of all the OSX malware samples used in testing. The latest Detection Rates PDF which you already downloaded contains all the necessary MD5 hashes needed in order to get those samples.

    http://securityspread.com/mac-antivirus-applications/  shows a list of the sources Security Spread used for these malware samples.

    All this information is publicly available on the Sec Spread site. I hope this will enable Sophos to include the missing definitons.
