Results Of Recent Independent Anti-Virus Test
AV-Comparatives.org just published the results of their most recent Anti-Virus testing. They tested 16 different Anti-Virus program’s ability to proactively detect malware threats. New viruses, trojans and other malware are being created at an alarming rate of 1,000 - 2,000 new threats every day!
This recent test is important because it tested the ability of the anti-virus programs to detect malware that hadn’t been added to the program’s virus definitions files. AV-Comparatives took 11,509 new threat samples found in a period of one week and only used the on-demand function of the various programs to see how many threats were detected.
The only two programs to get the highest rating of Advanced+ were Avira and Eset’s Nod32. AVG, Mcafee, Microsoft and AVK received the second hightest rating of Advanced.

If you’re looking for free anti-virus protection Avira and AVG can’t be beat. And if you insist on paying for anti-virus software Eset’s Nod32 is a great option.
