[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 984280, member: 32260"] From the test methodology: Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Norton, Panda, and Trend Micro are in the same cluster (cluster 1) so they are "equally effective", despite a different number of missed samples. Norton usually produce a very high number of false positives, so its efficiency can be reduced (comparable to cluster 2). We cannot say that Avira (0 missed samples) is better in any way than Kaspersky (2 missed samples) on the basis of this test. I m not sure in which cluster will be placed Eset, Gdata, K-7, Microsoft, and Total Defense, but it is probable that in the cluster 2. So, according to the testing methodology, they have scored slightly worse on this particular test. But the AVs with a very low number of false positives can be probably as effective as some AVs from cluster 1.(y) [/QUOTE]
