	Please read carefully also the test reports and the other documents on our website to understand how to interpret the results.
	* = read the report for details ( ! )
	** = new malware samples received during the 6th February and the 6th May that were new to all tested scanners
	This test shows the pure proactive ON-DEMAND detection capability that the scanners had 3 months ago with best possible detection 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.
	Please rely on the reached certification levels and NOT on the percentages.
