[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 964283, member: 32260"] It is a nice video. All nice words about Avast are also true and It is good to see the MT member interested in AV testing.(y) Anyway, some things can be interesting to you: [LIST=1] [*]You have got very good results for Avast because it is really a very good AV. But, it is not true that these results should convince someone that Avast is a very good AV. [*]Your testing methodology allows too big statistical errors, so there are fair chances that you would accidentally get similar results in one test when testing another AV which is not as good as Avast. [*]If you would like to make the test more convincing with the current testing methodology, then the number of samples should be many times greater and a similar test should be done for another well-known AV (like for example Kaspersky). [/LIST] If you want to increase your testing skills then look at Malware Hub tests. Generally speaking, testing AVs is not easy, so do not give up. Even professional AV testing Labs have serious problems with showing the protection differences of the 10 most popular AVs.:) [/QUOTE]
