Comparison between Mcaffe's SCAN.EXE (3-25-92) and F-PROT.EXE (4-5-92)
                    by THE RESEARCHER & Scan Man

    Acknowledgements to Invalid Media for the virus collection used in this
experiment.
    I thought it would be fun to turn a couple of good virus scanners loose on
a collection of hundreds of active viruses and see what happened. It was.
As you all know we have no way of knowing what virus scanners are of what
quality. This is need to know information! Preliminary testing indicated the
two best scanners were McAfee and F-Prot. So these were the only two used in
the final testing. It should also be noted that F-Prot has the best information
i.e. descriptions we have found so far.
The results are tabulated below for those interested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total files = 609
Executables = 497

Number of files found containing viruses:

 SCAN.EXE - 387
F-PROT.EXE - 399 (Also found 5 trojans, 1 joke program - not included in count)

Infected files found by SCAN not found by F-PROT = 16
Infected files found by F-PROT not found by SCAN = 27

Number of executable files with nothing found by either scanner = 70
