This following thread I'm linking to will also help. My last post has a link to the latest test results performed at the end of 2005.

See here: What Anti-Virus Program are you running now? (Extreme Poll)

On the actual test results page, you can go back as far as 2002 and view which anti-virus programs have been leading the field in actual, virus testing. Just look under "Comparative tests of antivirus programs" from the left column.


I agree with Van though - (3) Average. Your computer will be vulnerable to a few instances.

I would say that it is above average...  not the best.. that would be kaspersky.. But in the November 2005 PCmag there was a chart with how long it took manufactures to release definitions that would deal with the big viruses..  AntiVir had 4 of them out with in .5 days, 2 with in 1 day and 1 that took more than a day.. that one was zotob-b
