[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1050929, member: 32260"] It is worth mentioning that any test made on the MT forum cannot reliably suggest whether the SE Labs test is accurate or not. In the same way, the SE Labs test cannot disprove the tests made by AV-Comparatives, AV-Test, etc. Also, the tests made by SE Labs, AV-Comparatives, and AV-Test cannot disprove the results of tests made on the MT forum. All these tests can show only a part of the truth. They are not in contradiction to each other, because when one wants to reliably compare the results, the statistical error is bigger than the differences of the results. The main reasons for that are very different testing methodologies, a small number of samples, and small differences in the results of tested AVs. I cannot see any reason to prefer any particular methodology used in different tests. :) (y) [/QUOTE]
