i'm not sure about this, NOD32 and Avast are not in the list!

what do u think?

Norton is number 5, anything that has norton as number 5 is a useless list imo

I'n the last 3 years I have gone, Kaspersky > Nod32 back to Kaspersky

They probably just didn't include them in the test. Thats the only explanation i've got!

I use Panda IS 2006. It's actually pretty decent.

Avast is at number 8, I am also surprised NOD32 isn't there.

tbh there are so many AV programs, like others have said, they just didn't use that piece of software

have tried Kaspersky, but it slowed my system to a crawl(taking 6mins from power on to being able to use windows)

When they said for nortons "Performance: Good" I wonder exactly what they mean by that. Friend had it installed and his Pc almost ground to a hault, it found a virus but couldn't fix it as well as scans takeing 30+mins. Installed the free AVG system got 90% faster found the virus and sorted it out and the scan only took 9mins.

As somone else said, PC World...says it all.

just remove real-time protection. It's *** I do, but I have to say I've never had any issues with boot times using an AV over a fresh install, granted it might be a couple of seconds slower but its not much
