[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 888731, member: 36157"] Something I noticed in many YouTube tests is that when the tester executes undetected samples they are either perfectly legitimate applications or files that can't even be executed and many still count those as misses by whatever software they are testing. If a security software is alerting you to something that can't even be executed, then it certainly has a problem... I really doubt that a professional lab will use non-working or non-malicious software to test. Their credibility would suffer a serious hit if they did. [/QUOTE]
