    Thanks for the test results, this is the reason I switched all PCs and laptops at home to MS Antimalware. The detection rate is as good as something like Kaspersky Antivirus, it is FREE and you don't really need to worry about it searching some document on your PC and sending it to foreign country ;-)

    As for "false positives" - the only time I experienced that is on my ETH mining PC which ran Windows 10 - it was trying to remove the miner program which was a logical decision since some malware used to put miners on people's PCs. All I had to do is to permanently exclude that executable and MS Antimalware never bothered me again.
