Regardless, always invest some time in doing your own research. Like others, I would like to see some later test reports that show excellent results.Īlso, I have no connection with Virus Bulletin. I am not connected to Nano AntiVirus in any manner. I already have a system in place and feel no need to change. Therefore, I would not have a problem installing Nano AV on a computer that uses Windows Defender. Very often the lesser known AntiVirus programs are ignored by Virus writers due to the smaller return in investment of their time. I will not fault them for not keeping a Newsletter going.Īs Mike mentioned, Virus writers will always target the largest audience, and Windows Defender is in that largest category. Going back in previous years (before 2020), Nano AV has consistently identified 100% of "in the wild" viruses (WildList detection 100.0%) on Virus Bulletin, however its diversity rating in 2020 was a low 83.15%.Ģ019-10 Nano AV was not tested due to technical problemsĢ019-08 For NANO Antivirus, the diversity test results for Windows 7 were discarded due to technical issues.Ģ019-06 WildList detectionđ00.0% - Diversity Test rateę9.80%Ģ019-04 WildList detectionđ00.0% - Diversity Test rateę9.29%Ģ018-02 Catch rate 100.0% - (Test reporting changed after 2018-02)Īs for Virus Bulletin, their last newsletter was in December 2019, so I do not know if they are operating the same, but their testing page shows that the last report was for June 2023 (View the results of the VBSpam June 2023 (Q2 2023) test.) That alone could mean that the program has more frequent updates than others that use a slightly different numbering system nuff said 'bout that. Nano AV has a large (5 digit) number as the fourth group. The four group versioning system may be used in a different manner. You cannot determine whether a program is being maintained based on a major version number alone. Some people will see the major version number and presume the program is not progressing, but that is a common fallacy. In 2020, the version tested by Virus Bulletin in the vb100 list was version 1.0.134.90567. In the developer's website News section, it started in 2015 and the last issue was in 2020. Based on the install/setup executable details, the Properties show version 1.0.146.25785.
