[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1037922, member: 32260"] It is worth mentioning that a valid critique that follows from the video is related to AV-Comparatives [B]Malware Protection[/B] tests and to the part of the AV-Test tests performed on the "reference set". Those tests use the prevalent malware samples discovered in the last few weeks. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Such testing cannot say much about real protection because most malware in the wild is short living.
