[QUOTE="ScandinavianFish, post: 968228, member: 93786"] I dont trust videos either as they arent showcasing realistic scenarios, though unlile independent lab tests they show the tests taking place. And what about AV-TEST and VirusBulletin? I know every lab does their tests differently, but for example here [URL='https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/october-2019/microsoft-windows-defender-4.18-194015/']Test Microsoft Windows Defender 4.18 for Windows 10 (194015)[/URL] one month WD gets 97.9% detection ratio of zero day malware, the next month, 100%, whats with these inconsistent scores? [URL='https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/manufacturer/protectednet/']Test antivirus software Protected.net[/URL] Between October and december 2019, TotalAV, which has always only used the avira engine, went from 57.4% to 97.4%, how is an 40% detection even possible? And whats the chance of it happening to an AV owned by an marketing/advertising company known for deceptive practicies? VirusBulletin just claims every single AV, every single time, got 100% detection ratio. Ive lost my trust in the cybersecurity industry because of lab tests like these, and the marketing strategies AV companies are doing, they are becoming what they swore to destroy, its the same case for the internet as a whole, how is it possible to tell fact from fiction anymore with out of control disinformation campaigns?
