I wonder how many false-positives and downed LAN's occurred after Bitdefender's 97% performance?
The more I look out, the more I see why I refuse a traditional suite. It looks like paying Kaspersky 50-70 dollars to renew a license every year is the only decent choice for suite security, thus hopefully ruling out a ransomware infection.

They must have used some very simple malware samples, I never have had any good luck removing infections with an AV, I always have to end up using dedicated malware removal tools, recovery CD's and even sometimes have to reinstall Windows.

Thanks.

That's why backing up/imaging your hard drive(s) should be a vital safeguard. Worst case scenario, reformat and restore from backup/image.
