[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 965908, member: 78686"] Nice test. But IMO, you should always test an AV on default settings because that's how most users use their AV. Changing settings to increase protection level, heuristics level is not an ideal test or comparison and gives an unfair result. Many products don't even have any way to increase protection level. For example, McAfee in this test. Of course, you can test by modifying settings, but that should be a separate part of the video/a separate video/the title of the video should mention that settings were modified. For example, if a test is done here on the malware hub, then it's stated on the title of the product how the product was tested. Whether it was on default or modified settings. So everyone is instantly aware how the product was tested. [/QUOTE]
