@XenTheKiller I performed the test personally, it wasn't XP mode. There was no simulation, it was an XP SP3 os with a folder full of malware that was then executed one by one, as shown in the video. It's pretty straightforward.
looks to me like there is no AV product out there that can counter a test like this, so it doesnt translate well for a real world situation, it would be interesting to put a paid AV against a free AV.
@paulspydar Products utilizing whitelisting can easily pass a test like this. Traditional AV products have a tough time with tests like these due to the fact that they are still trying to maintain "bad lists" (definitions). If you deny the unknown by default (whitelisting), you could throw 10k threats at it, all would be denied.
@BluePointSecurity i see, interesting point , but wouldnt denying all unknown mean a lot more user permissions to be granted? and that is quite scary to the normal home user who just surfs & emails, and they would be inclined to either allow all (bad) or deny all (get nothing done ) I suppose its just down to the right app for the right user then educating the choices..thanks for your reply, btw about "real world" I meant its unlikely so many threats would be loaded to a PC Together & so fast,
@paulspydar You are absolutely correct, usability issues have prevented whitelisting solutions from entering the consumer market for many years. Whitelisting isn't new, however making a system that is usable to your average user is, that's where we come in! We've wrapped a few hybrid technologies around our solution that make it very easy to use. It certainly is a challenge, however it's all about working on a solutions that really works when put in the most demanding of situations.
how come you didn't just select them all and hit enter?

Why do you run XP mode on windows 7 ?

Why do you run XP mode in windows 7 ?..... this is so stupid..... do it with the real PC configuration

@XenTheKiller This isn't XP mode, it's Windows XP SP3 running on Vmware ESX 4.0.

@BluePointSecurity which ofcourse happens to have the same looking as XP mode in windows 7? Same buttons, same window effects.
Still, if it was running in a program, which simulates another thing, it is totally different then having a the real thing infected.

AVG = No behavioral detection, just heuristic generic. So it would be useless testing AVG.
Test something like OnlineArmor or something, something that doesn't just have signature technology only.
