Immunet beats out Microsoft Security Essentials and Avira in MRG Rogue AV Test!

Immunet Protect Beta 1.0.24 was recently put through its paces by the folks over at Malware Research Group (MRG). MRG is doing a well thought out monthly review of 30 anti-malware products to see how well they detect fresh, real world, active Rogue Anti-Virus programs.  The report titled “Rogue Software Infection Prevention Test, January” showed Immunet Protect Beta performed quite handily. In fact, we beat out both Microsoft Security Essentials and Avira  at detecting these in-field threats. It’s great vindication for our community (and the development team of course..), particularly given we are in beta with some ways to go before all of our detection engines are deployed!
