eXp

yes i saw that too ^^ and Avira (the reputed FP champion) has none ^^

From the failed products its likely need to decrease the FP rates. Their detection are good since no wildlist missed.

yes, failed a test just for some FP is "embarrassing"

Is there a reason that Symantec (Norton) is NOT on the list?
From what I have heard, Symantec shares their database with PC Tools now.
Maybe Norton also suffered from high false positives and did allow the results to be listed. 16 false positives is unacceptable.

Most of the AV's did very well except for PC Tools and eEye (Blink), a few false positives can be understood. It is rare to see AVG with 2 false positives.

Thanks.

From the summary

Its odd that only Windows XP Professional April 2011 got the award and the rest was blank. (Symantec)

the RAP is already odd for me, it is a messy way to show results.

and BKIS on top surprised me, this Vietnamese software was always average for me, all my friends here in Vietnam who had this AV were often infected...
