[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 883581"] I believe the problem with the majorly of you, is that you focus on the results, instead of following the whole process that led to the results (and the majorly of those test labs share that process). Which in the end make for accurate results in comparison to real world testing. Home users are not going to run into zero day malware nor targetted attacks, and testing AVs against average malware is as accurate as it can get for Home Users. Most AVs nowadays rely on Avira, BitDefender and Kaspersky for signatures, which is why the results for the tests are similar across the board +90%, the difference will be in their prediction algorims, disinfection and overall performance (unfortunately bloatware as well).
