New Antivirus Rankings
These tests was made between 23 April-10 May 2007, using Windows XP Professional SP2. All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates [ All programs were updated on 22 April 2007 ] and they were tested using their full scanning capabilities e.g. heuristics, full scan etc. The default settings of each program were not used, in order for each program to achieve its maximum detection rate.
The 174770 virus samples were chosen using VS2000 according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, Nod32, Dr.Web, BitDefender and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus program detected it as a new virus.
See the results HERE.
Active Virus Shield, by AOL, uses the Kaspersky virus engine and is FREE. It has been on my "Essential Software" list since it was released. I realise that the letters "AOL" may frighten a few people, but this is virtually just a rebadged Kapersky anti virus programme.
And it ranks a strong THIRD in the list.
