[QUOTE="FreddyFreeloader, post: 250594, member: 10239"] It ain't how many signatures 'ya got, it's which ones. Let us imagine that Product A detects 99% of malware samples in the test, but that the 1% of samples not detected are very widespread, and that the average user is quite likely to encounter them. Product B, on the other hand, only detects 98% of samples, but the samples missed are either not as prevalent, or only run on a specific operating system. In this case, users would probably be more at risk using Product A, as it misses more of the malware that is likely to present a threat to them.
