Same question, why are you here ???
HS2234:
Panda sucks with no internet, avast has behavior etc etc
AntiVirusASeT:
@HS2234: dun worry too much about the few % difference between panda and avast. this .8% is insignificant as this is just a signature test.
this difference could easily vary with a different reputable AV tester eg. AV-TEST may have the opposite results.
moreover, this is just an on-demand scan. no heuristics/behaviour protection is considered...this means essentially avast autosandbox/filerep features are not avaliable to help avast in this 'protection' results.

Para-Noid:
The only "tests" that I rely on is my own experience. avast has never, ever let me down. Those tests are in a controlled environment. My tests involve my own personal use. I used to put a lot of weight on those tests. Now I no longer care. What matters to me is that my computer has been infection free for over two years. I trust avast. Period. :)
Tgell:
.8% is statistically insignificant. And, the test does not tell which samples were missed or detected by each vendor. For all we know, avast! could have detected a more dangerous sample that panda missed or vice versa.
