I gave it a good go for awhile, submitting samples of various kinds of
malware that it missed (and some it still misses). It has a long way
to go before it can compare favorably in terms of detection with the
established and seasoned antivirus scanners. It seemed to me it still
lacks fundamental capabilities in some categories ... Word macro
viruses, polymorphics, etc. However, the developers do seem to be
trying to add detection for new malware as it comes along ... the
various current backdoors and internet worms that are proliferating.
It does detect quite a number of Trojans, though not as many as the
better antivirus scanners do nowdays.
