    Since I am not a subscriber, is there anything that could be revealed as to results?
    Thanks,

    Thanks, Ron, and Lucas. I am signed up, but I thought they had changed the rules and one had to be a paid subscriber. Got it now.

    Well, each test doesn't show anything but the sequence of tests does.
    If there are longer constant PASS then it's ok even if it fails here and there. But if there are constant fails and fail/pass/fail/pas, then theres probably something wrong with teh company behind the product. Or just extreme bad luck...

    mmm... I thought Avira had support for Vista x64 too. Perhaps they didn't want to participate in this test.
