AV-Test.org has carried out a a massive test of current antivirus applications. The test pitted 29 products against 606,901 different kinds of malware – a pretty big test I’m sure you’ll agree.
The malware breakdown (which included malware up to the 18th May) was as follows:
Looks, at first glance, very surprising & enlightening.
However, I can't find a breakdown of what found what, not to mention, no actual Virus was used in the testing.
Here is another AV test result ...
1 : G DATA AntiVirusKit (AVK) 17.0
2 : TrustPort Antivirus Workstation 2.5
3 : AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition Premium 7.03
4 : F-Secure Anti-Virus 7.
5 : Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0.2
5 : eScan Anti-Virus 8.0
7 : Symantec Norton Anti-Virus 14.0
8 : ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus 2.70.23
9 : AVG Anti-Malware 7.5
10: BitDefender Professional Plus 10
11: Fortinet FortiClient 3.0
12: Avast! Professional Edition 4.7
13: Norman Virus Control 5.82
14: F-Prot for Windows 6.0.5.1
15: McAfee VirusScan 11.1
16: Dr.Web for Windows 95-XP 4.33.2
17: Microsoft OneCare 1.5
Oh, and before you go spouting off, no 'freebie' versions were used in testing from either company.
Comments and discusions most welcome ...
