Thanks for noticing this! It's fixed now
I use ESET and couldn't rate them higher. Fairly low resources and decent detection rate, so glad we moved to them.
Having said that having a decet AV doesn't mean don't be careful.We have been seeing Crypto viruses go through Microsoft endpoint, ESET, Norton and Mcaffee.
I'm a reseller myself and Endpoint AV 6 has always managed to stop Cryptolocker in it's tracks. Even when a new variant pops up, it stops it from running in memory.
I have seen plenty of Cryptolockers go through practically all AV providers.
I can tell you right now it was 6 days before Eset detected a Cryptowall virus that has been sitting in my email after a user emailed it to me asking if it was suspect. My definition updates are up to date and credit where it is due ESET was one of the first to detect it, and so far Microsoft endpoint hasn't touched it.
With the rise of the 0 day viruses and the latest wave of macro viruses going around the only defence we have found that is effective at stopping Cryptowall viruses is software restricting programs and executables. However that isn't practical for home users (Or a lot of businesses),so they need to use their brain and not install them.
This isn't me slagging Eset I think they are amazing, however it is incredibly difficult for them to detect these viruses as the end users open them up and run them and they don't actually need to install themselves or need admin rights to do the damage, that plus the fact the cryptowall viruses have earned the crooks hundreds of millions of dollars means they are experimenting all the time on how to get through undetected with all the AV companies.
I was referring to once they've been opened and executed.
You're spot on though. It's very hard for any vendor to keep up with the latest viruses, particularly the 0 day vulnerabilities. ESET isn't perfect, but it's definitely one of the best.
They aren't reliable at detecting Cryptowalls or stopping them when executed, they might get some but certainly not all. We have tested the threats and Eset didn't detect them which is why we moved to a software restriction and Executable whitelist as that is the only effective way of stopping them.
However this is true for all AV vendors.
@kasp: Which product are you using though? Endpoint Antivirus or Security would perform much better than NOD32 for example.
We have about 1000 PCs on a single license of Endpoint AV and it's been quite good at stopping it execute so far, but a lot of those PCs have the restrictions on executables too as well as UTMs etc.
Endpoint as well. However the reason cryptowalls have been so effective is because avs struggle to detect them. I have witnessed first hand it going through endpoint.
There is a reason cryptowall 3.0 raised the crooks 300 plus million dollars. Number 4 is even harder to detect and has a time delay to outlast your backup sets.
If AV's and utms were effective.it wouldnt be so lucrative. Hence why you just have to restrict executables as the avs are not sufficent and why i was telling people to be careful about what they open.
Awesome, purchased. The multi device pack seems to be worth it at ~12/year per computer. Sent an email about my codes
Hmm the calculated savings appear to be 34% not 40%.
