[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 947201, member: 78686"] No, it does not. Please check the testing methodology of both tests. I would love to quote one of "struppigel's" comments who is a malware analyst working for G-Data, but I don't remember in which thread that is. Among other things he basically explained briefly how even little things like sample downloading from the internet vs simply extracting from a random archive can have an impact on how an AVs behavioral component reacts. In the real-world test, samples are downloaded via malicious URL in the browser which is not the case for the malware protection tests. Trend is pretty good in the URL filtering department but its signature isn't very good. But it's very sensitive about unknown files downloaded from the internet. My guess is, this the reason Trend scores high with a very high amount of false positives in this tests. One of Trend's employees also said that, if the AV sees the PC coming in contact with a lot of malware than the usual then it automatically switches to the hypersensitive mode which as the name suggests is extra aggressive. So, considering all of these, Trend's result here is very clear and predictable to me. [/QUOTE]
