    This was already disproved, the test organization was using a set of API that wasn't filtered by SmartScreen so it was clearly an unfair test. But AV-TEST has a reputation for sub-par testing what with their 100 testing samples and scoring vendors with 100%.

    I'd like to see the ratio of false positives on Google's site blocking, we don't go a month without hearing that Google has blocked another major website.
