[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 938864, member: 85385"] To be really honest, I was always surprised at the FP test results since in real use I never faced those FPs with for e.g. Norton or K7. But after speaking to a few vendors I found that FP rates tend to be higher for the products that do not have a strong presence in the geographical area of the concerned tester and this is related to the lower userbase of the vendors in those regions that they are not able (or not inclined) to screen/whitelist properly the localized software/files popular there (take for e.g. Norton vs. Avira in the FP test in AV-C). It's a bit weird but I think your geographic region matters a bit when you are selecting an anti-malware product.... [/QUOTE]
