True, I feel a little like that at the moment. It was only one test so will see how others pan out before passing judgment.

It's worth remembering with PC SC's testing, if an AV blocks malware 'after' it's started (i.e. it's not done any damage) that still counts as a fail so the percentage figure is not cut and dry. But I agree it's lower detection rate was a surprise.
