    NOD32 all the way for Anti-virus! I only hope MS doesn't try to buy them...

    Nice answer by Microsoft though - we will see how we can improve our product based on these results. No bull there. Refreshing.

    The scary thing for me in that report, was that Norton got 96.83%, who would have thought that?

    So, despite it's failings, it scores quite highly at what it is supposed to do.

    Maybe the 2007 version is an improvement on previous editions.

    Sure the 96.83% isn't how much system resources it uses?
