99.1% detection in Real World Protection Test with 0.9% compromised....

99.97% detection in Malware Protection Test with 0.03% compromised....

False Alarm Test = 20 false positives.

The Real World Protection test could have been better, I don't see much of an issue with the false positives.

Something seems a bit strange, especially with crappy Microsoft up there...

"Crappy Microsoft" performed  better than Avast! in both  AV Test and AV Comparatives.
