Re: The 2010 Anti-Virus league (Vipre not included) why, and is this test any good?
I wouldn't trust it, based on what I've been reading here in the forum... Sophos (very recent thread) is not here, either. (Neither are CA products, but I'd put them behind McAfee for sure!) Free AVG at the top??? I've not read or heard of anyone using Kaspersky and then rating Symantec ahead of them. -- Richard D.

Yes and they don't show much proof why avg is #1. Also were is the antimalware leaque doing it testing, how, and it funny to see vipre ad on that page, yet vipre is not rated, and nor is spohos.

I have contacted AV Test to find out why we weren't on the test. It turns out we need to pay for testing for their monthly test (we are paying for a subset of that). We should now be in the next test. This whole testing thing... don't get me going. It has been incredibly frustrating. But if it means anything to anybody, AV-Test and VB 100 are probably the best testing organizations out there, so what they say is worth reading.
