[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 873992, member: 59283"] Even then it's only evidence of a downturn against the specific samples used by the testing lab. They have no relevance to how someone's antivirus is going to react to any malware they encounter in the wild. Not to mention the samples used are at least 15 days out of date and malware authors would've altered these samples to hell and back by the time these tests are published. Edit: I changed "months out of date" to "at least 15 days out of date" based on the date of the test being published. Although the samples used in February are still classified as months out of date.
