You turn off real-time shields.....then you turn up real-time shield settings, saying you are maximizing Avast! scan settings?
Please at least read the help file and get a general understanding of how to adjust settings on the AV you are testing.
Money is "in the game", yes. Applying that to everyone, how does anyone know you are not getting paid?
10,000 live samples at once might compromise realistic detection rates maybe?
