    im not a mod but links to av-comparitives are meant to be to the home page only.

    these tests are not much of an indication of how the antivirus program would respond in the real world. you know what i mean lol.
    that test is just flat file scanning. if the files where excuted the heristics from eiether the standard realtime guard or the HIPS module in some products may still stop the malware.

    remember some antivirus companies just add all the samples without checking for corropt samples and cannot clean an infected machine at all.
