[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 912144, member: 32260"] It is not strange at all. Most of the AVs you are testing, have almost the same detection in the wild. Different results follow mainly from the testing procedure. On average, there are over 300000 new malware samples a day. Your test is like estimating the weather by inspecting a very small area of the sky. You would have more correct results by doing such a test 10 times on totally different samples. See on these threads: [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/randomness-in-the-av-labs-testing.104104/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/mrg-effitas-assessment-certification-%E2%80%93-q2-2020.104146/post-906206[/URL] Due to the enormous number of new malware samples a day and minimal differences between AVs, one particular test cannot say much about real AV detection.(y) Anyway, if you will do such tests for several AVs we can use statistics to calculate the average protection of Avs. Keep going with AV testing.:) (y) [/QUOTE]
