Hi MargosDezerian!
I saw that this issue is also addressed in the German forum, here: http://community.f-secure.com/t5/Schutz/Neuer-Test-bei-AV-Test-der/td-p/61551 so I thought it would be worthwhile to share our official statement here as well for the benefit of our English-speaking visitors.
"In the recent AV-Test Product Review for Android done on September 2014, F-Secure detected 91.8% of the malware samples. An unusual detection rate for F-Secure Mobile Security compared to the excellent track record of above 99%, if not 100% detection performance.
During our investigation, we found some issues with our cloud detection that causes misidentification of a few known prevalent malware samples. The issue was just temporary and only lasted for brief moment coinciding the test period. We see the AV-Test.org test results as important feedback to our operation. Thanks to the test, we were able to find the issue soon enough as it would have been challenging to notice ourselves otherwise. The problem was corrected immediately and certain safeguards placed to avoid future recurrence.
We treat this temporary and minor setback as a necessary experience for continuous improvement of our operations to protect our customers even better in the future.”Cheers!
