[QUOTE="Thirio, post: 620495, member: 59876"] Avast was tested against 247 samples in 20 scenarios while AVG was tested against 330 samples in 26 scenarios. IMHO this is not the proper way to compare the two products. Because Avast was tested against fewer samples it will have a lower detection rate than AVG. In theory the two products should be identical with the exception of AVG missing the hardened mode feature in Avast. I get it though it's difficult to test two products at the same time under same circumstances. I enjoy these reports and hope to see improvement in the future. Thanks for doing this at least,keep it up and we won't need to look anywhere else for reports ;) [/QUOTE]
