LOL, the crazy results came again :eek: Panda ranked at first but Emsisoft ranked at last ?!. I guess they're crazy because they are doing too much sucks tests :D
 
I was testing Kaspersky I noticed that he was letting many pup's even with the option enabled, is sure that in the default options will pass many, so it ended up framing the "user dependent" on the other hand avast started to come with PUP enabled default, which leaves more protected, may have been that factor to be in the Zero-Day category, of course there are still other factors involved in the te$t :D
 
With AV lab tests, one should consider the results within the context of day-to-day computing. How many peoples' cumulative computing activities result in 150+ files being downloaded and executed every month ? Real-world tests emulate user activities on a scale such that they are not realistic. The tests show what is possible using a large sample set as opposed to showing what a user will realistically see on the day-to-day scale. It's a point that is lost with many people.

One should also consider the possibility that they're really losing it. This is clearly beyond reality. :p

They also show what is possible when you wave with the right amount of currency, @Petrovic illustrated that rather nicely. Another point that is lost with many people. :D
 
Instead of showing results they should have recorded the test so that people can see how well they are performing.

panda is not bad when compared with other antivirus software but its not as good as kapersky, avast and bitdefender.
