[QUOTE="Fabian Wosar, post: 807692, member: 24327"] In the context of a malware protection test, there is no question that false positives and false negatives are both equally as important and therefore should be considered, as both have similarly bad impacts. IIRC there are studies done in enterprise environments, where the damage caused by false positives is even higher than by false negatives. But even in home environments, false positives cause major headaches. Best case it is an inconvenience. Worst case it renders your system unbootable. That is of course under the assumption that this screenshot was from a malware protection test, but I am sure [USER=50782]@Windows_Security[/USER] will correct me if I am wrong. [/QUOTE]
