[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 807851, member: 37647"] I agree with the above posters that a product should be judged over a period of time, not by just one test, and I attribute a certain degree of credence to official AV testing. They test real-life malware protection more accurately than private testing (including malwarehub testing), for a number of reasons. 1 Age of samples. In real life, you don't always encounter zero-day, totally fresh samples 2 Type of sample. The malware packages that pen-testers use are not the same mix of malware that the average user encounters. 3 Manner of malware delivery. In real life, you don't usually get your malware delivered in downloaded rar folders full of goodies, to be run on your desktop. The way your AV and your OS reacts to malware is heavily influenced by the delivery method. [/QUOTE]
