Gizmo Richard's <www.techsupportalert.com> is currently writing a series about
system protection. In Issue 135 - 20th July, 2006 he shows:
"Just how easily can be seen in the following termination test results for the
major signature based scanners:
Windows Diamond
DarkSpy
Task APT
Manager
Ad-Aware Pro V1.6 Fail Fail Fail
Avast! Home V4.7 Fail Fail Fail
AVG Anti-Virus Free V7.1 Fail Fail Fail
BitDefender Pro V9.095 Fail Fail Fail
CounterSpy V1.5 Fail Fail Fail
CounterSpy V2.0.122 beta Fail Fail Fail
Ewido v3.5 Pass Pass
Fail
Ewido V4 beta Pass Pass Fail
Kaspersky AV V6.0.0 Pass Pass Fail
NOD32 V2.51 Pass Pass
Pass
Norton Antivirus 2006 Pass Pass Fail
Spybot S&D V1.4 Fail Fail Fail
Spyware Doctor V3.6 Fail Fail Fail
Trojan Hunter V4.5 Fail Fail Fail
WebRoot SpySweeper V4.5 Fail Fail Fail
Windows Defender V1.1.1051 Fail Fail Fail
As you can see, many of the products could be terminated by the simplest
possible
method using Windows Task Manager. The same applies to termination using Diamond
Computer System's Advanced Termination Program. Only one security program,
NOD32,
could resist termination by DarkSpy though NOD32 too could be easily brought
down
by deleting some of its key files using a forced reboot."
