AV/AS General Statistics:

I am going to need a bit of help here on this one.
Generally most people have a few questions when it comes down to
choosing their virus/malware scanners. I would like to boil things down
and make it easy for newcomers without all the rabid fanboy crusades and such.

Here are the variables:

1.) Detection Rate(+/- False Positives)
2.) Memory Footprint
3.) Cleaning Ability(Based on raw data)
4.) Virus Definition(Frequency of updates)

I was hesitant to add sluggishness(Based on 1GB memory).
It would be excellent to see a site that did the numbers crunch
to crown the best products based on the above. I am sure we could
get a lot of information from sites like av-test/comparisons/etc/etc.

Going about it this way would be fair and the numbers would easily prove our point. Anyone interested?
