[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 909645, member: 32260"] Ha, ha. I am not so brave to claim firmly the above, because no one would believe it without solid reasoning and many people will not believe it even with very solid reasoning. But, I have tried hard to show why we cannot interpret easily the results of AV tests and why something that seems easy to understand (colorful charts of AV scorings) is not easy at all due to [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]MAGIC[/B][/COLOR]. [B]Millions of malware in the wild[/B] --------> [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]MAGIC[/B][/COLOR] -------> [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]thousands of tested samples[/B][/COLOR] So, probably the [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]magician[/COLOR][/B] would be more appropriate to show the difference.:) [/QUOTE]
