* User-dependent cases are given half credit. For example, if a program blocks 80% by itself, and another 20% of cases are user-dependent, we give half credit for the 20%, i.e. 10%, so it gets 90% altogether.

** A Cybereason product issue was uncovered during the Real-World Protection Test which led to an increased number of FPs. The bug has now been fixed.
