Comparative test of various anti-virus packages.

Makes interesting reading if you are considering using Microsofts "built in" AV package, but also interesting to see how well all the competition fares

I use an old PC - says he glumly

Currently using AVG - have tried many others e.g. Panda, Norton, F Prot etc etc. One thing is sure the virus writers are bound to target the popular packages (must be some kind of kudos attached to it in their circles!)

What a shame that the engineers :twisted: of such nasty software cannot devote their obvious talents to useful applications (sorry seem to feel a rant coming on - ill stop)

:idea: Do you think that there may be a cunning sales plan here from the antivirus companies - develop new virus then sell the cure :lol: :lol:
