      No doubt you're saying "crap" because of some avtest metric. Based on code quality and safety, Microsoft wins.

          considering how trivial most AV is to bypass this is a rather important metric

          You are clearly one of those who equates AV with a scanner. There are reasons why this (weak) kind of AV is widely used.

          No, most tests are crap, too. I know how these things work from the inside. Scanning engines, identification, disinfection, etc.
