that's some big changes to the top results

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

What is AVK? LOL! I never heard of those top 3 before.

[TheRealDave]

How reliable is it?

[Deathray]

Those are surprising results :|

[1Frothy]

Avira is always been good. AV-Comparatives results show that too. :)

[Avi]

Wtf? So the best AntiVirus is this: http://www.gdata.de/trade/US/productview/819/16 ?

Also, Microsoft passed McAfee, Norton and Kaspersky? Is this "Windows Defender" or "Windows Live OneCare"?

[Ayepecks]

OneCare. It's antivirus.

[grik]

ahaha yeah right, MS AV passed Kaspersky and others, wow this must be relly legit....ahahha

OMG do you really think this is true? if they really tested this, they made a really nice virus list lol

Yes, it is true based on their testing circumstances, which do seem quite extensive

Grow up

[Ayepecks]

lol, even when Microsoft wins they lose.... seriously, people just wanted to make fun of OneCare because it started out at 80% and behind those all, and now when it passes them it's a conspiracy? Come on.

[Matrix XII]

Now I can actually say that OneCare is good at Future Shop and it actually be true :p

[PermaSt0ne]

i only trust AV-Comparatives and VB100

[Angel Blue01]

Microsoft above Kapersky?

[Raa]

Well, once again, i'm happy to see NOD32 topping on that list. I'll keep recommending and using it over anything else :)

huh? NOD32 totally didn't top that list. In fact none of the good AVs did, which makes me suspicious of the list.

nice, i knew once care 2.0 was good and this is only proving it. I use it on two machines and love it. It has be best features for an antivirus program, uses little resources and now is pretty good at catching virus. That is a big jump from the garbage that was one care 1.5

Sorry, my terminology got a bit mixed up, I did in fact mean that it was in the "top 10", hence "topping" of the list. Not "at the top".

Still, it faired better than most, and it does use the least resources and performs the fastest :)

I'm going to play with a 30 day trial of Avira. Getting a bit annoyed at ESET NOD32 V3 and internet traffic issues with uTorrent etc.

[Malisk]

Too many changed top spots here, I'd need another independent review here to be more sure of this.

[Unto Darkness]

Nice! Avast! is in the top 5 and beat NOD32, Kaspersky and Symantec!

I heard that the scanning engine in Avast! Home is the same as that in Professional, only thing is that Professional is licensed for more computers. Can anyone confirm that?

[kombolcha]
