VB100% is the AV Bible AFAIC, and any product that can't attain a VB100% is not worth a cent IMHO.

There's a few surprises in this most recent round of testing I must say...don't you think? A couple that I really didn't expect to see fail in there, and a bunch of the regulars to the Failure list as well.

Anyway, I hope some of the less security savvy members can find some use for this info and possibly drop their garbage AV if they have one, and get something worth it's weight in Gold...(like Nod32...not like I'm endorsing or anything...but NOD32 - by Eset...thats N-O-D-32...ok)

I myself use NOD32 3.0 x64 antivirus. I would recommend it to anyone. It's also rather inexpensive for annual renewal ($27.99), and unlike Norton automatically updates the program to the newest release for free.
