These comparionsion between several AV scanners are getting updated once a while. Due to the large number of samples and scanner engines this cannot be done that often.
I know these are poor stats, if you dont think so, have a look on the bash script i used to generate them.
As its obviuous updating the stats takes a lot of (cpu) time, and manpower, so we wont update these stats on a regulary basis, this is just to show whats possible.
Problem is, to run proper stats, we need a host with postgres database accessa and some megabytes storage.
