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

    Checksums will confirm the file passed to SophosLabs is the same as the one used in a particular test but they aren't the files themselves.  Where are the files?  I've clicked around a bit but there is not a zip or similar that I can see.  Actually I would hope that testers don't publicly share malware for any and all to get hold of.  Therefore I would suggest the way to proceed is if security spread can forward the actual files to SophosLabs.

    It would be good to update detection but we don't have a process for manually hunting around different sites for hundreds of individual files. :smileysad:
