[QUOTE="509322, post: 707893"] It can be argued that there are no such tests among the labs. It can be argued that AVLab.pl and MRG Effitas try the most, but then there are those that say they try but don't get it right. So, Average Joe is once again holding the bag trying to figure out what it is what if she\she even manages to get to point where she\he is reading the reports, let alone any of the debate. All Average Joe sees and cares about is big, tall, all green bars and 5 stars. Anything less just won't do. And - if they are inclined to spend their money - green bars and 5 stars is what most base their purchase screening and selections upon. The few more discerning might go the extra steps and do research ending up on a site like MalwareTips. However, since you have different labs reporting different results, a lot of Average Joes that look at the different lab results are left scratching their heads. But it's no big deal, the vast majority of Average Joes don't ever look at lab test pictures, and if they do they don't pay much attention. They certainly aren't inclined to pay for a security soft in the first place so what the AV test labs report doesn't matter one way or the other anyway. [/QUOTE]
