Hm,Avast! has very good rating. Funny that Kaspersky has better rating than NOD32... Anyway Avast! still kickz ass even if it has a bit lower score ;D It's not everything in strenght of virus detection ;)

Not for me, Kav has alwayse a higher rating on these kind of tests.
Nod32 is strong in ITW detection and with its Worm heuristic(/ah). But not so good in Zoo detecting, i think they work on it.

That's correct, KAV with its brutal detection force usually wins... ;)

Anyway, the chance you'll ever see a virus that only KAV is detecting is .0000zero -they're all ZOO, not ItW guys :)

Overall, avast did better job than NOD but again -- but again, the results are very biased by the ZOO set which is really not something a normal user should care about...
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

Hehe i really don't care about tests. Its enough that i have seen avast! in action by my own eyes on my own PC with real viruses/worms. You also add undectected viruses asap to VPS (if submited to you) so this part is very good. I stopped using Norton,just because LiveUpdate definitions were always about 2 days behind manual standalone update definitions. And LiveUpdate is the most important thing in AV! ::)
