Like any other Professional tests from AV-Comparitives, AV-Test and many more, they're testing the product in unrealistic or extreme conditions.

Reliability depends on the testing methods and if they're being sponsored (ie. paid-off by a certain vendor for top results) or not.

Thanks for the honest answer :)

I don't care whether it's weak in the test, I only care whether my computer runs well with it. And I know it did the job.

The reason MSE does bad in test is because MSE has '0' false positives and the other security products add their false positives to their total malware/virus finds.
