Comparison and testing of four most popular anti-malware products (II)

In the previous article, we gave a general introduction to the four software involved in this test. Which of them will have better overall performance? Let's start a brutal practical test!

　　Who treats rogue software the most-clear and unmount capabilities

An excellent anti-rogue software not only can detect malicious programs in the system, but also depends on its ability to deal with hooligans. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk. Next let's take a look at the performance of the four software, which is reflected in two aspects: first, the number of malware uninstalled; second, whether the uninstall is clean.

Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: All 20 rogue software, Super Rabbit found out 18 of them. We used the "professional Uninstall" function provided by Super Rabbit to scan and then used Super Rabbit for scanning again, the result shows that all malware is uninstalled.

Malware cleanup ASSISTANT: The software detects 15 of them, and uses its "malware cleanup" function to uninstall 14 of them, one of which fails to be uninstalled. During the operation, the software stops responding once.

360 security guard: This software detects all 20 malware, and uses its "scan and kill malware" and "plug-in management" functions to uninstall all 20 malware.

Internet Plug-in management expert Upiea: This software found 13 malware and uninstalled 11 of them through its "plug-in management" function.

From the effect of detection and removal, 360 of security guards performed as perfect as expected. All 20 malware were handled, followed by Super Rabbit cleanup and malware cleanup assistants, the strength of Upiea is obviously not here.

However, there is a problem here. Taking Super Rabbit cleanup as an example, after using it for cleanup, we also use it for scanning to confirm that it is "uninstalled ". But is it true? Is it possible that it has not been uninstalled, but it has not been detected by itself? To make the test more accurate, we conducted a "cross-test ":

The four software involved in the test are scanned and cleaned separately, and then inspected separately by the other three software.

The results of the Cross-test surprised us that none of the four Software except 360 security guard had detected "malware, the remaining three instances have incomplete uninstallation to varying degrees. After the Super Rabbit was cleaned up, 360 of the security guard detected four more. After the malicious software cleaning assistant completed the cleaning, 360 of the security guard detected eight. Upiea was the most exaggerated, through its clearing function, 360 security guard and Super Rabbit detected up to 17 and 12 malware respectively!

Comment: This round of tests surprised us. It seems that it is not easy to uninstall malware. Fortunately, the performance of 360 security guards has stood the test. According to experts, among the malware we have installed, the 3721 Network Real Name, myIEHelper, winstdup, and many others are the most stubborn. They are embedded with drivers and have the "virus" feature, currently, only 360 of security guards can thoroughly check and kill these malicious programs. In addition, 360 security guard is currently the only software that provides the LSP malware scanning and removal function.

　　Test Score: Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: 23 ie plugin management expert Upiea: 17 malware cleanup ASSISTANT: 21 360 security guard: 27

Measure the test taker's knowledge about the ease of use of software.

"Easy-to-use" is an important criterion for evaluating whether a software is excellent. It is no exception to anti-malware. It is relatively subjective and insightful in this regard. Next, let's comment on the usability of these four software.

Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: The software UI is more in line with user habits. The function module settings are reasonable and users can easily get started. The only weakness is that the system does not comment out the detected malware and only provides its name, which makes it easy for novice users.

Malware cleanup ASSISTANT: its menu button settings are still user-friendly, but the interface is not beautiful enough. The detection results of malware and processes do not contain more comments.

360 security guard: No doubt, 360 security guard is the most easy-to-use of the four software, not only the UI is very good, but also very user-friendly, provides up to 13000 explanations for various startup items and process items, allowing cainiao and advanced users to get their desired information.

Internet Plug-in management expert Upiea: this software is easy to use because of its relatively simple functions. For each malicious plug-in, the software does not provide relevant knowledge, but it provides a "query related information" menu to search for related keywords in Baidu.

Comment: In this regard, 360 security guard is obviously much better than other models, which is guaranteed by its powerful development team. We believe that excellent UIS are always easy to use, and features are easy to expand. In line with the public's usage habits, 360 security guard has completely achieved these points. Upiea is the weakest among the four software.

Test Score: Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: 16 ie plugin management expert Upiea: 13 malware cleanup ASSISTANT: 14 360 security guard: 18

Keep pace with the times when detecting and killing hooligans-Comparison of software upgrade frequency and Methods

Anti-malware is similar to anti-virus software, and its "virus Database" upgrade is very important, so as to ensure the detection and removal effect-in fact, rogue software is also staring at these anti-rogue software, they will make targeted adjustments at any time. If the anti-rogue software fails to follow up, it will soon lose the "cat and mouse game ".

Among the four software, the 360 security guard and malware cleanup assistant provide online update functions to ensure timely follow-up.

Among them, the upgrade mechanism of 360 security guard is relatively complete and user-friendly, users can automatically upgrade, or let the software detect the new version and prompt whether to upgrade. In addition, 360 of security guards update the malware feature library twice a week and on Thursday, which is the fastest software to release the feature library. The number of malware that can be detected and killed has increased from 121 to 240 at the time of release. The time is very short. According to 360 security guard developers, they will ensure ~ Two new versions on Monday.

　　Test Score: Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: 0 ie plugin management expert Upiea: 0 malware cleanup ASSISTANT: 6 360 security guard: 7

Computer security is a comprehensive project-Comparison of auxiliary functions

The comparison is not directly related to malware cleanup, but they may solve problems caused by malware, such as system faults caused by uninstallation of some malware and identification of malware. Let's take a look at the following:

Super Rabbit cleanup Wang: Provides system optimization functions, such as self-starting programs and optimizing media players. It also provides the restoration function of "canceling optimization. In addition, the system garbage cleanup function is provided.

Malware cleanup Assistant: Provides browser repair and registry backup functions to clean up the registry, self-launch projects, and temporary files.

360 security guard: provides detailed annotations for each type of malicious program. Even cainiao can accurately determine whether a software is a malicious program. It provides system backup and restoration functions, more than 30 system Spam can be cleared.
