[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 750831"] It is why i kept saying AV labs are just marketing tools. Only idiots fight over it. During AV-C last year survey, when i was working for Emsisoft, i asked them to publicly publish on their reports details of the samples used, guess what was the answer: "we don't publicly disclose samples, however vendors can freely ask us the samples" .... basically, the public is purposely kept in ignorance so they can't really evaluate a product efficiency, while vendors have free pass to adjust it for better results.
