    If the results are to be somewhat believed, it actually is quite good to see comodo catching almost the same amount compared to Avast. Which i think is a great achievemnt.

    yes Comodo is the biggest improver with over 121% improvement in detection and over 87% improvement in scanning speed. Great results for them.
    But there is no mention of false positives...:(

    I don't think Ashampoo even sells their av anymore. But I believe the version of Ashampoo used an older avira engine and signatures- back when avira was av only, no antispyware. I don't think the Ashampoo product had been upgraded for the last 18 months or so.

    Interesting to see Paretologic included in this test,it's a company that's considered a borderline rogue by some observers.:doubt:

    Also they say
    "The test was carried out between 10 August-05 September 2009 in PC Pentium Dual Core 2Ghz, 2048MB DDRAM-2 and functional Windows XP Professional SP3.

    All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates and used the full potential of each program, such as heuristics, etc."

    Wouldn't that mean that the products tested later had an advantage?

    Norton at 87.37% ? No. I'll wait for AV-Comparatives.

    There is at least one obvious error in the testing protocol: they are measuring the scanning speed on infected samples, whereas it should be measured from a clean set. This measurement only has a value for...anti-virus testers !

    What's nice about this test is that it somewhat gives an idea of the detection rate of products that are not (yet) tested anywhere else. Yet, the results of Norton, Sophos and Panda are a quite surprising!

    I agree.
    The only program that I would have liked to have seen on that list is FortiClient.

    The difference between the two products is insignificant and probably just amounts to when exactly the image was frozen with the latest updates of the time in place. virus.gr does not have nearly as good resources as any professional AV testing organization, and hence all products are installed and images frozen with the products updated to the signatures of the same day. However, I believe the signatures were frozen at different times during the day, due to which it is highly possible the higher detection rate of AntiVir Premium is just a matter of older vs. newer signatures. :)

    I admit that I don't know how tests are conducted. However, the differences in F-Secure in this test and AVC tests seem too large.
    Accordingly I have some reservations about the Virus GR test.

    PS Is it mid September yet? :)

    Regards,
    Jerry
