[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 930782, member: 32260"] One can also notice strange results for Norton. In the AV-Test, the system scan of a few million files produced only [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]1 false positive[/COLOR][/B]. On the contrary, in the AV-Comparatives test, Norton produced [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]41 false positives [/B][/COLOR][S](about 1000 total samples)[/S]. All these false positives were on access without executing the files. But, this difference is related to Norton's way of managing files downloaded from the internet. Such files are managed by the Download Insight feature, even if they are not executed. So, in the AV-Comparatives False Alarm Test, the Norton offline detection is not tested and the results cannot be compared with AV-Test. [/QUOTE]
