Would be nice if you'd include ClamAV in your test results. Would also be nice to be able to get simple and clear data on how well it detects viruses and rates of false positives.

Thanks for the feedback!

These are not our tests, these are tests performed by av-test, virusbulletin, etc.

Currently there are only a few tests for ClamAV, all done by AV-Test during 2015-2016 and all are for MacOS.

When ClamAV goes through a few more tests, it will be included in our results tool as well. (Here: https://bestantivirus.reviews/tools/test-results-calculator)

If you're interested in the ClamAV test results for MacOS, here are the original tests performed by AV-Test:

https://www.av-test.org/en/news/news-single-view/more-securi...

https://www.av-test.org/en/news/news-single-view/12-security...

The average scores based on these tests are:

Average: 87.9%

>Protection: 72.6%

>Performance Impact: 92.8%

>False Alerts: 98.3%

But once again, these are for MacOS, not for Linux users among whom it's extremely popular.
