AVG: 54%
ClamWin: 48%
Why anyone would use either is beyond me...
Very true. Unfortunately, these tests are rather inaccurate. There's no
way that Norton is better than NOD32 real world situations. And McAfee in
the top 10? Okaaay. And testing Sophos Sweep? Come on. What are these,
DOS tests? Plus he has an old version - April was 3.92, not 3.91 - so he's
wrong when he says the programs were all up to date. I'd take these tests
with a very large grain of salt. Hell, I'd use the whole shaker.
What does this mean?
"ALL virus samples were unpacked and the only samples that were kept were
the ones that were packed using external-dos-packers (that means not
winzip, winrar, winace etc)."
Shouldn't AV apps be able to unpack virtually everything?
