0 twist Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 twist: can you point me to some of the tests you are referring to? on their webpage they say they pass the tests with 100% success, but i'm gonna guess that is a little biased sure, come to my house, goto my bathroom and its in one of the mags in there. i think its pcworld, or mc mag, pc comething. or maybe its that vanilla ice biography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Redmak Administrators Posted July 17, 2002 Administrators Share Posted July 17, 2002 Ok, my avast32 test is done. I got me a nice virus in my email, you know the kind you smell a thousand miles away (no need for a virus scanner there) So I decided to check my attachments folder to see if it would notice anything (I don't have automated email checking on). Guess what the virus scanner hung up on me while checking the files :p Ok that one is history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BroChaos Veteran Posted July 17, 2002 Author Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2002 heh, that sucks Redmak. well according to that test site, AVK11 looks like the best to me. however, it's in german, and it isn't free. AVG did ok, especially considering it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
