thats really handy!

i thought panda was much better then what that sites says

i also thought nod32 would be up there in the top5

never even heard of bit defender antivirus

what's everyone else think?

Not keen on Bit Defender. Tried it, and didn't like it.:nowords: In fact it missed a virus on my system that AVG picked up.

AVG is what I use now

Edit: also used Zone alarm pro before. It's good but could be better. Stil trying to find a firewall that I like

Nice links, although I am more than happy with my NOD32 and Sygate Firewall combo

Suprised they weren't rated better.

How the hell did norton get a decent score? It grinds most systems I have seen it installed on to a halt! Biggest pile of poo i have ever had the misfortune to install

The fact that ZA was rated tops and BlackIce even got a look in alerted my suspicions with this so called review. On looking at the AV charts and seeing that Kaspersky isn't even mentioned I thought I'd do a little digging.
What came up but surprise, surprise; referral links. These people have no technical ability whatsoever and are making their money from adverts and referrals.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!
