    A small false positive doesn't make any big difference.

    That's only one test comparatives - I'll wait for the other 3 test comparative companies ?

    " still based on a limited set of criteria that do not reflect today's malware landscape" kaspersky...

    A tiny false positives is not bad - on the other hand too much is worse

    rather consider these

    --> On Demand Detection Rate
    --> Solid Proactive Protection
    --> Retrospective Tests
    --> System Impact

    Many AV companies' products pass in Virus Labs test and miss other viruses in normal consitions. Some companies design their products to perform well in AV tests to sell their products. Doesn't matter that Kaspersky fails in av test. It is still my first choice.
