[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 905017, member: 83059"] I made a comment on a previous test about the relevance of these false positive tests. Last time around, it included such fun relics like the DVD copy of Microsoft Encarta, last sold 12 years ago. False positives can be a really painful thing, but today I'm a lot more worried about the false positives where critical Windows files get removed, or popular games' anti-cheat engines get flagged, etc. The last time I looked through the examples of false positives that F-Secure and some of the other allegedly FP-heavy engines flagged, I did not recognize any of the software.
