[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 785635"] The Hidden secret in those test labs is that all AVs are equivalent, why? 1- all of them are between 98-100% 2- how many malware a classic user will encounter on his whole life? 10-20 for safe users, 50-100 for happy clickers? Even the worse happy clicker will become cautious after the 20th infection... In my all digital life I never crossed any malware unless I looked for them. Now do the math between the worst AV (~98%) and the best (~99-100) = 2% So at worst, 2% of 100 malware in your whole life? 2 malwares... At best, 2% of 10 malwares = 0.2 malware... Those test labs are BS, they are marketing proxies for vendors, and they get their fare share of money from them... While stupid fanboys are fighting over the results and noobs changing AVs like underwears when their current one get a "low" score. And spare me, the "but this is an extrapolation to properly measure the AVs efficiency". No dude, in real world scenarios there is no extrapolations, only real usage, and those labs are far away from it. [/QUOTE]
