This is how it's done! Let's keep this going.

Zero compromised.
Zero user dependent.
Zero false positives.

Whilst I generally take little interest in these tests, but AV-Comparatives does seem to have a consistency and tests that are reasonably well documented.

Lets hope this is the start of a 100% consistency for Avast.

These results for the next 3 reports would be something to celebrate.
We've seen good results before. (Maybe not this good) Unfortunately they haven't been consistent.

Agree with you, bob3160, but.....

Despite of this good news, always patch, patch, and update:
