    All AVs have a performance score of 6/6 except one! This test is a joke! LOL

    Out of 19 tested 15 of them are "top products". According to them.

    But isn't this what we want and hope for? That through the years all the various products keep improving until the day finally comes that it really does not matter what you use; they are all the same, very good.

    Maybe? These result imply that either:
    1. All products are good and you can safely use any.
    2. The test is too easy or not to be taken seriously.

    All of the tested products are good enough, to protect.
    If you look with an magnifing glass, there will be some minor, not relevant, differences.
    More important is to have an ad blocker, µBlock Origin preferred, and a reliable backup.
    Very important is, that an AV is not annoying, or breaks Windows, or even sells your privacy.

    When everything is the best, nothing is the best. This test is a joke, and not everyone can be a winner here. Some of these are absolute jokes, too. K7? McAfee? Ahnlab? Come on now.

    When you look at independent testers with good reputations, you see a TON of these AVs fail miserably, but AV-Test gives everyone a pass with flying colors.

    I smell purchased horse-****.

    It's a joke indeed because all of a sudden PC Matic gets a score of 6 while it's notorious for performing extremely bad? It scored even higher than Win Defender LOL.
