F-Secure and its eternal problem with false positives. Adaware 12 proved to be weak, although in my tests it did a good job, a pity were not testing G Data.

Can't understand why they added Seqrite and Crowdstrike to their real-world testing. They already offer separate testing for business products that they conduct twice a year.

CrowdStrike? Is this a new company or a revamped one?

Strange even these names, there the focus had to be for household products
They're one of these "next-gen" antivirus vendors that don't rely on signatures. They've been around for a good few years. Believe they were founded in 2011 or 2012 and have been involved in a couple of high profile breach investigations over the years.

So interesting... All programs had 96% at least and 9 programs got 100%. Such a useful test to decide what to use. I will call this tests antimalware bible from now on.
Oh, this is a real-world test hence this is real life people, get excited.

Panda 100% and no false positives, and there are people who say that Panda is weak,
In the test it was better than Kaspersky, Eset, Norton, Avira and AVG

avast! did really well. I just hope they'll keep up on this level from now on.
They don't know when you are being blatantly sarcastic... but I do.
"antimalware bible"... LOL
You have to keep it real simple so others will understand what you are really saying... like... "AV suxx !!"

Where's Deep Armor?
It's time they should have a separate section for testing of "next-gen" AV products.

They have but they've only done one test so far:

I know a UI does not imply a good or bad product, but that has to be
hands down the ugliest UI I have ever seen for a AV, and the minimal
effort that went into that scares me, nope not trying it.
