[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 809603, member: 32260"] I do not think that the Eset result was bad and there is nothing surprising in Panda better result over Kaspersky. The samples of this test were a very, very small fraction of all malware which showed up in the tested period. The statistical error in such a case can be probably bigger than the difference between any AVs in the test. If AV-Comparatives could do the test on another pool of samples from February-Mart period, then Eset or Kaspersky could get one of the best results. [B]In such tests, any AV can get the result below average due to statistical fluctuation even when it is the best when tested on all samples from the world.[/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]The concrete result in one test is an illusion of protection. [/B][/COLOR]The only thing that matters is how often the AV can get a good result and how rare it can get a bad result. If you look at the one-year results, then Eset and Kaspersky are among the best AVs. [/QUOTE]
