[QUOTE="MDTechVideos, post: 84472, member: 2049"] I wouldn't rely too heavily on these professional company results. Though some aspects of this and other results cam be very good at giving the user a rough idea as to proactive and reactive detection of a av(VB goes into a greater detail than the some of the other sources do) but I just do not see these test as a reliable source for information. On VB site it says they use "the freshest samples available at the time the products are submitted to the test". A problem for every av tester and company out there is that samples because outdated really quickly. Now I am sure they have a system in place to help in making the test as fair as possible, but it's impossible to have every test equal. Now, testing each product one-by-one and giving the user the look and feel of a product is much better in my opinion than throwing an av chart in a users face. Obviously the average computer user will look to the best performing av on the chart and conclude that av is the best one out there(which is silly in my opinion). I try not to think that companies like PcMag,VB, and av-comparatives fiddle with their results(I am fairly certain toptenreviews does this), but you just never know. EDIT: Spelling revision [/QUOTE]
