[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 944835, member: 78686"] MD's case is different because they don't push local signatures quick enough. MD's local signature is usually very accurate and they take time to write proper signatures, classify threats appropriately. It's often more than a week behind at creating offline signatures for a new threat. While as I said, Avira is more frequent and release signatures far quicker than Microsoft. Over 10,000 samples were tested and they were a few days old for sure that's why Avira had a high offline detection. Avira Pro version has a feature like a cloud priority or something. Their pro gets priority over the free version if something not seen before requires cloud analysis. I can't say for sure why there was a difference but TotalAV probably was not quick enough to get a faster cloud response at the time of testing, connectivity issue, or anything. In SE Labs tests, often Avast and AVG had slightly different detection results even though they are the same product. So it could be anything. But the difference is very low so it's nothing to speculate about. [/QUOTE]
