[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 924450"] All these tests are designed merely as a guide, but due to melting differences now (not like long time ago with Symantec:98.9%, McAfee: 81.6%) they can no longer be even that. It's like when you buy a fridge, you have volume in litres, but you also have other factors to consider. When considering which software will be used in the long run, there are factors, such as performance, lack of issues, alerts frequency/design and others. I personally wouldn't use an antivirus slowing me down or bothering me every 10 minutes, even if it was triple-engine with Kaspersky, Bitdefender and Avast. [/QUOTE]
