[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 978195, member: 32260"] If the files would be run without MOTW in the AVLab tests, then results for Avast would be even more anomalous than for the Webroot. It is impossible that Avast did not miss any single sample in all AVLab tests (over 19 000 samples) - please let me know if it is not true). This would also strongly suggest that there are not many unknown samples in AVLab tests. The 0-missed result is possible (still slightly unusual) if the files were run with MOTW. In this case, Avast uses CyberCapture sandbox - so the samples are analyzed similarly to what is done by AVLab (to check if the samples are malicious). So even such a perfect result does not exclude using many unknown samples in AVLab. [/QUOTE]
