[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1018789, member: 32260"] Even the one-year summary is not conclusive. Here is the citation from AV-C: The one-year summary of AV-C Real-World Protection tests includes the results of protection scorings combined with false alarm tests. Adding the results of two different categories is always questionable because there is no accepted method to do it. One could use the same results of R-W tests and false alarm tests and consider one of them as more meaningful - the results would be different (different winners). For example, the cumulative results presented in my post (for the year 2021) do not include false alarm tests (which can also be questionable). As can be seen, the winners are different compared to those presented by AV-C. [URL unfurl="false"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/the-best-home-av-protection-2021.112213/post-973591[/URL] Edit. The results of false alarm tests can be interpreted differently compared to AV-C. The way used by AV-C overestimates the false alarms of very rare software. The false alarm of software used by 1000 people all around the world is counted in the same way as another one used by hundred of thousand of users. [/QUOTE]
