[QUOTE="bunyip783, post: 145174, member: 64"] Yes, because I'm going to use exactly the same samples for everyone of my tests. That makes sense. If I were to fairly test the products against the samples I'd have to test them all on the same day with the same samples. Otherwise these samples would be way too old to be practical. You can believe what you want but the fact remains most of these files are malicious. Even if a small bunch were false positives most of them are still malicious. Testing a random bunch of samples just tests how it goes in general not compared to other products. The location of these files are not disclosed for safety reasons. If I were to turn the real time protection on how would I accurately test the detection rates then? It's not like I'm running the files with the guard off so it's not like I'm being unfair. You can take from them what you want :). [/QUOTE]
