At the top is both Kaspersky and Active Virus Shield with the same results, That's because the engine is the same, it `s just mark AOL in free software. The good news is, as we have a good freeware! You can download AOL Active Virus Shield here.
Of course, the test is not accurate because it is still sponsored by a company (which really looks like AOL and Kaspersky sponsored a party, it `s too optimistic 99.62%). Kaspersky has created a strong community around the world to support it. "I have seen other results, the top is Dr.Web. Dr.Web best feature is that files can heal infected, not just delete them (by deleting important system files and the fall of your system). That `s what I never liked NOD32 – you can never recover any file!
Another thing that makes me curious about this test is that Kaspersky `s biggest competitor is Norton took 22nd place. Another magazine reported that Norton is a Application of the worst that slow your computer. And I agree, it's slow. It `s how to install Internet Explorer uses some of the things I've always had problems.
For now the work I have Norton Internet Protection Suite 2006 (I `m without administrator privileges) and turned off my phone and activated Dr.Web AntiVir, since a bad virus and I could not get accurately detects Dr.Web Antivirus but still can not cure. I intend to install AOL (Kaspersky) Suite antivirus and try it, perhaps Things have changed over time.
