	If you have questions about the tests and/or the results, please ask us directly in our forum (www.av-comparatives.org/forum).
	Before asking, please read carefully also the test reports and all the other documents on our website.
	* = new ITW-samples appeared during the 5. August and the 1. October - please read the comments in the report !!!
	** = new zoo-samples received during the 5. August and the 5. November that were new to all tested scanners
	NOTE: All products detects with updated signatures/programs 100% of the used ITW-samples.
	This test shows the pure proactive detection capability that the scanners had 3 months ago with best possible settings. Detection failures in a retrospective test are not up for discussion.
	To determine how good a scanner is in detecting zoo-samples on-demand in general with updated signatures, have a look on our February and August tests.
	In order to have the highest available protection and proactive detection capabilities, keep your Anti-Virus always up-to-date.
	The used programs/updates are 3 month old due the design of the retrospective test. This is a way to determine the on-demand proactive detection capability.
	Please do not put to much attention to the percentages. Please rely on the reached certification levels.
	As the retrospective test-sets vary each time, you should not compare directly the percentages with different (older) tests.
