Member 16: XXXXX is stupid
Member 17: XXXXX is stupid, agreed on
Member 18: Nope Member 16 and 17 are wrong for their opinions

It normally goes along the lines of something like that. Surprisingly, it didn't even go half as bad as usual this time.

How accurat That give me a laugh, even if i shoudlnt? But thanks anyway.

Just looking at the top products we have already noticed is a joke (removing Kaspersky). AV-Test and AV-C = humor websites.

Wait what?

There is a free trial on the Korean version of the site after signing up for an account but as far as I can tell it's not accessible to anyone outside Korea as it looks like you can only sign up for the account with a ROK national ID number.

This. Vendors decide whether they participate in testing or not.

Emsisoft hasn't been tested by AVT since 2016.

Exactly !

ESET simple didnt want to look bad again in AV-Test (despite being a top-tier antivirus solution).

You understood wrong, I meant that it is a joke the "top" products (except Kaspersky) ie taking Kaspersky, which I think is a top product, except the others on the list.

I see now.

I feel horrible pity to see my main products slapped..

It is almost like all products aren't static and will have different results every time.

Only an average of many tests done over a long span of time can paint a clear picture of the protection an AV offers.

You are right, but to be fair Kaspersky is the exception, it always do great in every kind of test since a long time time ago, so we can conclude that it really is a top tier solution.

Sure, I know I have never seen it do badly. Yet, I always see emsisoft have its moments where it doesn't do too good in these AV-C testing but then in independent testing it always completely protects.

No trial available, but it is an Korean Antivirus. I have my thoughts about that.

Actually there is 30-day trial available with v9 English UI, the problem is you must figure out know how to get its installer first .

Pup seems to be the only thing Kaspersky is lacking on.
