[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 974766, member: 32260"] Or simply there are no significant differences between several AVs in the consumer (home) environment. Also, even if the AV scores perfectly it does not mean that one is perfectly safe, but only that there are probably many [B]more significant[/B] dangerous things in daily life. Do you really need something more? You probably do not complain when buying shoes - one shoe in the pair is always longer (but the difference is not significant for most people). Anyway, some differences are visible when collecting several tests.
