Please improve virus detection rate

Trend Micro needs to work on threat detection. Most of the threats when checked upon virustotal website are not flagged malicious by Trend Micro. Other major AVs hardly misses redline stealers etc. But Trend Micro needs to work on improving its detection rates. As a result of average lab tests it is performing not good in independent lab tests. It performed poor in av comparative tests. I know virus total analysis is basic one but I am sure even if threats are run manually to check its real time protection it fails to detect most of the threats. An improvement in this regard is much appreciated. Please introduce different and robust av engines and integrate with the AV to improve its detection rates for instance f secure has multiple engines. Personally I do like using Trend Micro but it needs massive improvement in this regard. As free AVs like Kaspersky free and Bitdefender free offers much superior protection and hardly misses any samples.

Hello Eagle,

I complained about the same non detection on Virus Total but I was told by another user that TM has a very good behavior detection and all the items not detected in VT will be flagged on execution.

And it has been suggested to have "Protection level" on "Hypersensitive"

Based on the results on AV Comparatives or AT test I am inclined to believe it.

@claudiubotezatu yes av comparative results are alarming. But it is good indeed as it blocks malicious files but detection needs to be improved. If only Trend starts using different AV engines and integrate with its product then it will improve. For instance F secure has 7 or 8 multiple engines (one of them is avira engine). I wonder if Trend Micro introduce such mechanism in its product to increase its detection rates.

"yes av comparative results are alarming"

The results are not "alarming" , they are very good.

Real-World Protection Test July-October 2022 TM 99.8% ; Kaspersky 99.7%

F secure has 7 or 8 multiple engines

You do not need 7-8 engines.....

@claudiubotezatu they are alarming cause AV comparative's real world test has nothing to do with malwares. It is a test of malicious urls. Check other av comparative tests which has relation with malware tests. Here is the link for it-

@claudiubotezatu in this test out of 10,019 it failed to detect 259 that is it only detected 9,760 malwares. By far the worst result by any AV. The second worst is malwarebytes which failed to detect only 19 threats that is much better compared to Trend Micro.

"It is a test of malicious urls"

You are 100% wrong.

"Real-World Protection Test July-October 2022" is the average for the specified interval.

"in this test out of 10,019 it failed to detect 259"

This was an "accident" ... in any test before and after TM scored very well.
