This test was an Emsi Software internal comparison and does not represent an objective assessment of the detection performance of a-squared Anti-Malware. It stands to reason that our own in-house product will produce the best detection rate against our own Malware samples. After an in-depth analysis some files were rated as harmless in the meantime. That's why a-squared Anti-Malware did not reach 100%.
Even though that's the case, it made SAS and MBAM (both are good products), which score quite poorly, looked bad because the test included virus and other malwares that SAS and MBAM can't detect?
