With these latest tests of Intego products itвЂ™s noticeable they went back in time and added almost all the signatures on the list. Perhaps this is simply the difference in scan engine that allows for better results in VirusBarrier 2013, only Intego can confirm this. While this technically means X6 can identify the malware, because it was not found in a scan I did not mark them as found. I tested this numerous times and found malware that was not found during a scan was found if i dragged and dropped the file directly on the application, but even then it was вЂњignoredвЂќ.

However some malware samples and traces were not detected in a full scan, files that were found by itвЂ™s successor VirusBarrier 2013. With up to date definitions VirusBarrier X6 is back with in the running placing 5th in the list.

VirusBarrier X6 can update definitions again and no longer forces users to upgrade to the 2013 version (as far as I could tell). The latest PDF, as always, can be found here.ДЄny comments, feedback or suggestions are welcome, leave вЂ™em in the comments below! Thank you to those that submit samples and make suggestions рџ™‚ IвЂ™m already working on the next update which will have more malware samples, including the latest IceFog. I did hear today that Apple updated XProtect to block some of the latest IceFog samples, weвЂ™ll see how well in the next update. XProtect remains painfully ineffective against malware, even Janicab that has been around since June. As Panda is now identical to IntegoвЂ™s product (no idea why they use the same of everything just re-branded) only twice as expensive and without menubar serviceвЂ¦ I would not bother with Panda anymore so it has been moved to the вЂњexcluded from future testingвЂќ list because of these reasons. Since it uses the same signature database the results are the same. Panda antivirus got an overhaul and now looks identical to IntegoвЂ™s Virusbarrier and jumped from version 1.5 to version 10.7.6.

These definition updates resulted in VirusBarrier 2013 jumping from 3rd to 1st place and VirusBarrier Express from 5th to 4th. Intego has added quite a few older malware signatures to their database as well as being able to detect the latest Leverage samples. The top performing AV products and XProtect results have been updated.
