Great site for choosing an anti-virus
Edited on Sat May-05-07 10:17 PM by mvd
There are other factors involved, like stability on your system and cost, but for performance tests, this site is my fave:

http://www.av-comparatives.org/

I am allowed to only link to this page, and not the results page. To see the results, click on Comparatives and then go to the latest tests.

...for a summary: http://www.av-comparatives.org/index.html?http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/overview.html

They have most recently given the highest scores to AVIRA, eScan, F-Secure, Gdata AVK, Kaspersky and TrustPort. Dig around to find out why.

Neat site.

3. Only Trend or Kaspersky for me...
Both are solid, fast updating, reliable... the latter has an EXCELLENT firewall that reports everything.

The rest are shite; don't even bother with Microsoft's. They can't even buy a good security company to call their own.

But, regardless, don't expect to get responses from either of them. :)
