Avast 5 officially released

Phone Man said:

Not very scientific of a test with only 8 samples. AV-Comparatives in one test used 23,000 virus files and I think the highest found rate was 13,000. It just depends on which test virus you are using.

I am not a scientist, I did it for fun to see what kind of results I would
get

Even though there were only 8 samples, it shows that AVAST did poorly
while all the others did much better.

I realized that, but my point is if you use 8 other samples you will probably get different results. The old saying, its not what you know, but what questions you are asked.
