5. McAfee version 10.0.27 - 94.80%

6. BitDefender version 9 - 90.75%

7. Nod32 version 2.50.41 - 88.79%

8. AntiVir Personal version 6.32.00.51 - 86.55%

CNET says zonealarm is the best.Pitty,The Sify bb dialer won`t let me use it.Personally i found it very efficient and less on system resources.Right now i`m on trend micro pc cilin which was the best last year.Its good but not as good as zonealarm,but still way better than mcafee.

The tests from http://www.virus.gr are flawed and unscientific. I do not recommend you buy an antivirus based on these ratings. For proper, scientific tests, please see http://www.av-comparatives.org

By the way, All of these AVs are good (grouped randomly):

1)Kaspersky
2)BitDefender
3)Norton (yes, really)
4)McAfee
5)NOD32
6)Dr.Web
7)AntiVir PE Premium (or Free)
8)Panda AntiVirus

1. trend micro pc-cillin
2. mcafee internet security suite
3. AVG
4. kaspersky
5. NOD32
6. suckiest of all NORTON

Even AV-Comparatives tests says that Kaspersky is the best of the pack

And I didnt understand what you meant by Unscientific.AV comparation isnt like calculating exit poll results.it's just let the av run and see how many virii it detects.

When you make an AV-test, all the infected samples one uses have to be individually verified before it can be used for the test. All harmless samples or damaged files must be removed. The samples used should be 100% functional.

You can read the below thread to see why the tests from http://www.virus.gr are untrustworthy......

But yes, Kaspersky is very good at signature-based detection, but their heuristics seems a bit lacking.

BTW, it is requested by AV-Comparatives that no one should link to individual test pages on thier website. Please link only to http://www.av-comparatives.org
