[QUOTE="artek, post: 856955, member: 22897"] Not that they "don't matter." But that they're not representative of real world protection, or that they are inaccurate. And the vendors that have complained about that: Cylance, F-Secure, Symantec, Panda, Microsoft. Oh and here's one for you: "Corrons and Righard Zwienenberg of [B]ESET [/B]presented a paper at the Virus Bulletin Conference in October 2016 on the potential gaming anti-malware product tests. In it, they noted a few obvious examples. "Some testers organize their malware testbeds by naming the files by their hashes," the two wrote. "There have been cases where products were not able to detect malware in a file with a ‘normal’ filename, while it was detected when the name of the file matched the file’s hash." You can find vendors complaining about this almost every year since 2007. [/QUOTE]
