Symantec surprised me, 23 false alarms.

Microsoft definitely holding the applications installed on Windows Operating systems thus can identify well the FP false rate.

Some funny highlights:

Avira, Tencent and Kingsoft detected Kaspersky package as TR/Agent.208616.

Avast detected Symantec package as Win32:MalOb-IJ

Trend Micro detected AVIRA package, Bitdefender package and ZoneAlarm packages as TROJ_FAKEAV.BMC.

Panda detected Kaspersky package as Suspicious.

Vipre detected AVIRA package as Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT.


Looks like competitors are trying to knock each other out.

Enjoy!!

Are the detected "Packages" the Full or Web installers, I wonder?

A lot of FPs by the bottom group of vendors. Microsoft with none.

My browser is Opera, and it works fine, except when I install Google Chrome, then Opera starts to render pages that look like jigsaw puzzle pieces. After UN-installing Chrome, Opera works fine.

It's common for company's to "Accidentally" mark other security products as malicious.
lol. I also find it funny how Trend Micro marked zonealarm, Avira, malwarebytes and bitdefender as Fake AVs.

As always, MSE the best

I cannot understand why one AV detects another and vice versa. That's totally stupid...

Like when Crapspersky tries to remove MBAM before installing
