avast! is becoming better and better on 0-day protection

[SpeedyPC]

Comodo is rising and rising.

This is getting very worried for the Avast Free version as Comodo is getting better and better because their offer more in their free version Antivirus/Firewall/Defense+/Cloud/Auto Sandbox all in one complete free package

I really don't want to go back to Comodo since I had so many problems from v4.5 up to v5.3 I guess, I wish Avast keeps on beating or bashing Comodo I wouldn't mind giving them a hand as I have my chainsaw on standby.

at current point avast is on top #1 and COMODO is on #4 according the chart for 180 days

Just look at the longer duration stats http://www.shadowserver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/AV/Virus180-DayStats as these are cumulative, these would give a better indication.

That's definitely the better (more informative) link.

just something i am wondering... is this shadowserver testing really based on 0-day malware?? as if we are topping this test with real 0-day malware constanatly...then should i expect pretty high results in av-comparatives??

or there is a difference in testing??
