[QUOTE="ExecutiveOrder, post: 984110, member: 93099"] Because it shows a single notification of "click to block (default block)", that's it. It causes 4 fewer points in "Legitimate Software Ratings". Not sure if during the testing period, AVG rolled out an update for the app to configure its certain behavior (not the signature) at the exact same time as Avast. This slight difference or inconsistency is not uncommon even in other testing labs. Both scored 100% protection (399 out of 400 points due to how SE Labs scores the result, refer to 3rd part: "Protection Rating"). Different times, different samples and methodology, different tester, and of course different results. "The test was conducted between 17th January and 14th March 2022" and "only" employs verified 75 "general attack" and 25 "targeted attack" scenarios. This so-called 100% protection is limited to the test conducted by the SE Labs, reviewing their methodology (AMTSO compliant) will enlighten the concern a little bit. Sophos' results in the last 2 quarters are not that impressive, [URL='https://selabs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/july-sept-2021-home-1.pdf']Q3 2021 95%[/URL] (ranked last), [URL='https://selabs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/oct-dec-2021-home.pdf']Q4 2021[/URL] 97% (8th out of 12). By looking at multiple independent testing labs, readers can get a deeper insight into a certain product, SE Labs is just one of 'em. [/QUOTE]
