[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1030335"] Thanks for your hard work, but because the results are so close it is better to zoom-in on the missed samples, like [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] does in his "it does not matter which Tier-1 / Premium Antivirus you use" threads :) because the differences are marginal, see example below (Avast Free scored in below references 100% while KIS paid scored 99.2% and 99.7%) AV-Test rewards an antivirus a 6 when it meets the average protection results, better to summarize calculate the missed samples in the under laying score. For Kaspersky ([URL='https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/december-2022/kaspersky-lab-internet-security-21.3-221611/']link[/URL]) this would: November and December 312 samples total (we don't know the division, so let's assume 50-50) a protection percentage KIS of 99.2% in December would indicate a missed number of samples: 301 X 50% = 150,5. 99,2% of 150,5 = 149,3 so KIS missed 1 sample AV-Comparatives stars (*) count is also a very high level indication better mention the total missed in the samples ([URL='https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/real-world-protection-test-july-october-2022/']link)[/URL] protection percentage KIS of 99,7% for 626 samples total, so KIS blocked 624 samples, so it missed 2 samples (seems to make sense AV-Comparatives has roughly twice the number of samples compared to AV-Test and and KIS misses also twice the number of samples of AV-C vs AV-T). Because of the VirusTotal malware exchange, AI-ML, post-infection telemetry and cloud protection, only a few people have the questionable honor to be the first victim (in a herd you don't need to outrun the lions, you only have to be faster than someone else in the herd to survive). The irony of IT becoming a critical infrastructure makes companies a much more interesting target for malware writers than consumers. In the last 10 years I have not heard of any relative, friend or distant acquaintance complained of being infected, while I know that at least two of my friends owning an company have been attacked (one website hack and one partly successfull ransomware infection).
