App Review False positive test : Avast Free Antivirus 2014 ( modified settings )

[Loupirade]

Hello,
This is a test of false positives, with cleans files that can't damage the pc.

Avast has block 5 files of 16.
Thanks to @Dubseven for the pack

Just curious, if the files are clean, why test in VM?

Useless test, test with malware, not with safe files !

I will not install and desinstall my AV on my real computer for a test

A regular user would not enable Hardened Mode and set it to aggressive,no way.And to set Avast this way and test it against harmless files to prove what?Yep,useless,100% agree with you.

 

[Dubseven]

False positive tests help to know which anti-virus do the most FPs.
So it's not useless.
An anti-virus with 100% rate but 50% fp, it's not helpful.

 

[VladDracul]

We all know (well,maybe not all of us) that Avast is one of the AV with very low FPs.If you want to modify settings and play with harmless files just for fun,i wouldn't call this test helpful at all.

Disable hardened mode and do the test again.
Hardened mode is default denial for unknown programs.
