Where is F-Secure?

 

Very unfortunate, seems like they didn't participate in any of AV-Comparatives test this time round.

 

This test basically proves that there no such thing as 100% security. Only AVG, Avast and Trend Micro blocked all malware but in other tests they often fail to block 100% of all malware.

 

True but we have known this all along. Nothing is 100% certain and that is why I have advocated for years that you do a daily image backup and if you get struck with malware, simply restore.

 

Correct, but what I meant is that you should never rely only on a single AV, extra protection is always handy. Back ups are important, but won't protect against data stealing.
