[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 845674, member: 32260"] OPSWAT could simply accept the fact that WD is the most popular AV. This popularity does not prove that it is the best AV (it is not), and possibly can depend on the fact that WD is preinstalled on most computers with Windows 10 - such information should be added in the report. That's all. WD cannot be simply excluded, because users who keep WD may prefer free solutions. So, if there was not WD they probably would install a free AV (not Symantec or Eset). Without WD the final results would be different from those published in the report. [B]The OPSWAT results do not present the users' choice about preferred AVs, but rather the preferences of users who do not like WD (or were guided so).[/B] In my opinion, the OPSWAT results are based on creative (but not correct) statistics.(y) Edit. OPSWAT honestly admits in the report that results may not be representative of the general population. [/QUOTE]
