In feb 2002 Grisoft AVG missed 1 in-the-wild virus, 26 macro viruses, 181 polymorphic viruses and 56 standard viruses. This was tested on windows ME machine. In June 2002, Grisoft AVG missed 115 in-the-wild viruses, 106 macro viruses, and 242 polymorphic viruses and 81 standard viruses and this was on a windows XP test machine. This test was done on a version which was crippled due to the current version having a problem as noted in one of my earlier posts. In feb 2002, there was no technical difficulties yet Grisoft AVG failed miserably. You can read the online results and judge for yourself.
