Eh, I am grateful that G Data doesn't participate into every rigmarole test by independent AV labs, but I sometimes miss those charts by G Data, just for my own information. Based on this MRG Effitas test, I like that F-Secure been solid for a long time, but it would fail almost every VB100 test because most likely they will atleast flag 1 FP and that's already a failed test, well, at least in consumer versions it's not hard to exclude FP's, so it shouldn't be a problem for those running F-Secure and new 17.3 version is great.
There's not many F-Secure users in MalwareTips though, maybe because of it's simplicity?
I still consider F-Secure to be better than WD in all aspects. As long as you have backups/system image stored, it doesn't matter which reputable AV you are using if you are fine with companies privacy policy/price of the products, at the end of the day, as
@Umbra said, it's just a "seat belt".
