    A powerful result for Microsoft this time. .3% user dependence - addition of Smart Screen?

    Seqrite is an enterprise security, right? :blink:

    Interesting results, thank you. :)

    Better than August. :D

    August: Blocked= 93.3 / Compromised = 6.7%
    September: Blocked= 93.5% / Compromised = 6.5%
    -------------

    F-Secure = FP champion (42 ) for one more month on the row!!! :argh:
    With that number of fake alerts, this AV is worst than a virus, imo.

    Emsisoft seems to have slipped a little bit on detections since deploying the new auto-resolve feature to cut down on "user dependant" detections. FPs are down but have not been accustom to seeing any red in it's AV Comparatives column as has been seen the past two months.

    Update:

    Emsisoft's most excellent behavior-blocker to the rescue - 99.99% detection in Sept. Malware Test:
