@Oerlink,
The particular AV results (missed samples) are not important, as you noticed. The problem is that the test shows an upside-down picture of how one of the tested AVs normally works (most detections should be Pre-Launch instead of Post-Launch and remediation time is probably incorrect too). That AV works so on about 5% of computers in the world. I am not sure if showing this was the intention of the testers. Furthermore, that AV is not tested on default settings (BAFS does not work).
The same problem would be with a giraffe mutant with a short neck, presented in the ZOO as the typical example of a giraffe species.
Of course, AVLab can still use Firefox and simply add the note, that Defender's BAFS does not work in the test. No problem.
