[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 879091, member: 32260"] I wonder how this test can be seriously taken as a base for discussion about the effectiveness of AV anti-ransomware detection???? If one would perform 2 such tests for the same AV on different pule of samples, the result could be 100% and 80%. [B]So, 80% can be as good as 100%.[/B] If Avast vendor would think such tests as meaningful, then the paid version would not have dedicated anti-ransomware protection. It is always nice when the AV we like can get a good result. But except for some pedagogical value about how Avast works, such a single test cannot say anything interesting about the effectiveness of the tested product.(y) [/QUOTE]
