I can only show credits of this research (or, in other words, I can only get interested in the results) if I can see the name of the antimalware x results table.
What I can see is that Google Service is not being able to scan not even half of the malware... Poor.

1. I can only show credits of this research (or, in other words, I can only get interested in the results) if I can see the name of the antimalware x results table.
2. What I can see is that Google Service is not being able to scan not even half of the malware... Poor.

1. Not sure why, as it's not really important for the final verdict, but OK, here you go.
-> In Table 2, we show the comparison with ten representative anti-virus engines from VirusTotal (i.e., Avast, AVG, TrendMicro, Symantec, BitDefender, ClamAV, F-Secure, Fortinet, Kaspersky, and Kingsoft).
2. It's even worse, as the detection rate is under 25%.

But we can't associate the result with the particular AV engine...

Why..?? It's quite obvious that avast! is AV1, isn't it..!?

avast! is indeed #1 since it also scored 100%

My fault. It did not see the correlation between the text and the AV1, AV2...
Thanks for pointing me out this
