[QUOTE="Adrian Ścibor, post: 847427, member: 71496"] We cannot be responsible for what Microsoft do or do not do. If they don't provide protection for other browsers, they starts with a heavy cargo on his back. The Avast engineer responsible for contacting with us has a different opinion. Avast company is satisfied with our testing methods. Even thanks to them we have made some corrections on the backend's script. I cannot agree with you by that. There is a some difference in detecting the same malware transmitted through different protocols. It may be strange, but it really is. Especially if malware is delivered to the system via drag-and-drop, i.e. via a process such as vmtools.exe. by users on many YouTube videos. We will discuss internal about how we can improve testing methods. I will refer to SmartScreen too. Let's see the situation on back. Do you think it's good if SmartScreen will block everything? Then how to check the protection of an anti-malware product that will not have the opportunity to react on malware? SmartScreen is also known for False Positive. We do not prepare such of tests. So if we want to examine protection, e.g. Kaspersky, the SmartScreen technology must be turned off to check at what level Kaspersky can block malware. Otherwise SmartScreen will block probalby 100%? malware on Level 2 according to our methodology. But the users will not know the real effectiveness of Kaspersky.
