[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1060934, member: 32260"] Hi, :) I would not name it the (protection) test, but rather the demonstration. As a demonstration, it can say nothing interesting about the overall protection of AVs. It is impossible to test the AV in 5 minutes, so the results are kinda illusionary. From professional tests, we know that Kaspersky has the best chance of winning in such a demonstration. On the basis of this demonstration, we cannot say that the protection is good or bad because of many important shortcomings, for example: [LIST=1] [*]The author does not show how many malware samples infected the system. So, the results can follow from some random factors. [*]We do not know how representative were the samples. For example, the malware that bypassed Avira in the demonstration could never attack the Avira customers, but infect in the wild the customers of Bitdefender (so Bitdefender could detect it in the demonstration). [*]The author did not do any convincing inspection of the system, except to see if the files in some folders were encrypted (this can show only the ransomware infection). So, we do not know if other AVs (Kaspersky, Avast, Bitdefender) were bypassed or not by non-ransomware samples. We cannot also exclude the events when one of these AVs could be bypassed by malware stopped by Avira, Panda, or Defender. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
