[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1065359, member: 61091"] by some correlation I meant (or thinking) the more sensitive the AV engine & its settings are, the more likely the AV will "detect" malware, but also more false positives too... skimming the chart, Avast did detect 100% but had 2 false positives, F-Secure 100% with 18 fp, Norton 99.8% w/ 17 fp, TrendMicro 100% w/ 35 fp. If ESET had a few fp, might then also have more valid detections, or is that concept apples & oranges :unsure: Eg perhaps ESET could tweak its code, catch 100% but with 5 or 10 fp... :unsure: I have in no way "analyzed" the type of malware, the 1.8% that ESET is missing... I quickly skimmed the AV-C report again, I'm not seeing eg the type of malware getting passed ESET. Sorry if I missed it, I need new eyeglasses and the first appointment is not until January.
