AVG & Avast have different ratio of misses despite having same signatures o_O

On tests done here on MalwareTips or on youtube, malwarebyte ends up being infected more often than competors do still, this hasnt changed in looong long time

See those yellow dots? Here’s what those mean:​

  • A device has a third-party antivirus installed;
  • Malwarebytes has run a remediation scan and;
  • We detected a potential concern.
The leader board on the left is running tally of how many potential concerns may have gotten past the respective antivirus software tool. So, the higher the number, the more potential concerns could be sneaking through.

Kinda scummy by MB anyway
 
These maps are also never live. Usually last 24 h
Or a counter based on historical data rates. Kind of like the "real-time" death and birth numbers one can see in some museum of science. The counter also doesn't show how many infections are actually caught by the primary AVs and at the same time missed by MB. Sure, MB might find 1 pup that the AV missed; in the 100 infections that the AV caught. Meanwhile MB missed 99 infections that the AV caught and just decided to alert on "adobe-crack.dll" which might be a real crack that the AV decided to ignore (since not malicious to user). (Just because crack is malicious to the big corporate doesn't mean it's malicious to the user and AV's job is to protect the user and not financial interests of the big corporate)
