[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 917496, member: 32260"] In the previous posts, I tried to show that even after averaging the results of several tests most AVs seem to have an important random factor. For example: [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-the-hell-wd-works-on-windows-home-pro.95146/post-915198']How the hell WD works on Windows Home & Pro? | MalwareTips Community[/URL] In this post, I will present a slightly different approach and compare the results of tests between two years. The tests include the results from the years 2019 and 2020 (AV-Comparatives Real-World, AV-Comparatives Malware Protection, AV-Test, SE Labs). The data can be derived from the attachment [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]chances_to_be_infected.txt[/COLOR][/B] in the post: [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-big-are-your-chances-to-be-infected.105400/post-916174']How big are your chances to be infected? | MalwareTips Community[/URL] The first column contains the numbers of missed samples in Real-World tests. The second column contains the numbers of missed samples in Malware Protection tests. The AVs are sorted by the total number of missed samples. 2019 1. Norton..............(2_______2) 2. TrendMicro.....(7_______0) 3. Avira..................(15______9) 4. Microsoft........(12_____13) 5. F-Secure..........(12_____25) 6. Kaspersky.......(14_____24) 7. McAfee............(35_____30) 8. Avast................(26_____57) 2020 (up to October) 1. F-Secure............(4_______1) 2. Norton...............(6_______2) 3. Kaspersky.........(4_______5) 4. Avast..................(11______2) 5. Microsoft..........(24_____12) 6. Avira...................(27_____17) 7. McAfee..............(41______7) 8. TrendMicro......(4_____257) The randomness of most AVs is obvious. For example: [LIST] [*]In the year 2019 F-Secure and Kaspersky were behind Avira and Microsoft. In the year 2020 the opposite is true. [*]In the year 2019 Trend Micro was close to the top and in the year 2020 it was the last one. [*][B]Only Norton was consistently close to the top and McAfee consistently close to the bottom.
