[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 826844, member: 32260"] Only for files with low and very low prevalence. It seems that AV-TEST uses samples with medium or high prevalence. [ATTACH type="full" alt="avcomparatives.png"]217624[/ATTACH] Edit. In most cases, the false positives with low and very low prevalence appear because some developers do not bother to submit the executables for whitelisting, before publishing the application or application update. It takes 5 minutes via [URL='https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission']Submit a file for malware analysis - Microsoft Security Intelligence[/URL]. I do this for a few years without problems (except one case). The files are whitelisted usually after one day. The same is possible for most AVs. [/QUOTE]
