Re: Latest AV results from av-test.org
said by TAP  :All freebies, AVG, AntiVir, avast! are always doing a very good results, they beat many (some beats all) well-known paid AV. Only AntiVir can match the best paid AVs. However it has more false positives than the average AVs.
Avast and AVG is out of the top 10.
AVG is not really a good AV (look at the result of AV Comparatives - it has never got the "advanced" or "advanced+" award, but it once got the "unclassified" award)
I sometimes wonder if NOD32 is overrated. This test somehow confirms my observations. It only ranks 12th. Too bad!
I am a bit hesitant about Fortinet. It may score high because it also generates many false positives. It tends to flag many innocent but runtime-packed executable as suspicious.

Saint Marys, OH | One test confirms your observations? Wow . . . that's some opinion barometer you must have. |

I say "This test somehow confirms my observations." And I say observation"s" (which has a "s"). So there are other testing and test results which make me think so. I'm not making the conclusion from just 1 test (or this test) only.
Note that the test has the following testbed:
83.000 Worms
86.000 Bots
218.000 Trojans
79.000 Backdoors
It is known that NOD32 is bad at detecting trojans-like malware (and the rank of this test does give you some ideas how bad NOD32 is). What I'm saying is this is one of the evidence which proves this statement, but this is not the only one!
