And your assessment is a little misleading (if not false). For example, the tests go back some five years and were run on many different operating systems. To be fair, you need to look at the most recent tests. Here you'll find that 3 other products do as well as Eset and a further 7 may do as well (there was no entry for one or more tests). And another thing, these tests are just a snapshot. For instance, the version of Sophos used in the February 2003 tests was not the latest version (at that time). From this information, you may conclude that virus definitions were not up-to-date (even though it passed). As Virus Bulletin says, do not over-emphasize detection rates when making a purchasing decision. In the end, it's personal choice.

Re[2]: NOD32 (was: Grisoft AVG)
Hello John, There are a number of good AV programs in the market. You don't have to knock one down in order to make yours look better. I use NOD since it's one of the fastest in scanning my system. It has also won the 2003 Power Tools Forum award, and I have to say there are many programs in the list that I use and I can vouch for. Beta 3 of version 2 is almost ready with a much better graphical and user-friendly interface, but believe or not I prefer the current version due to more user configurable options. -- Best regards, Kennethmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, March 12, 2003, 3:56:50 PM, you wrote: JM It is a very poor anti-virus program.

Re[2]: Grisoft AVG
Thanks installed AVG plugin and tested with Eicar Test string, every thing appears to function. In case people are not aware, the Eicar test strings are available at http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm They are useful to check that your AV software is functioning. Though completely harmless, most if not all AV packages see them as a virus and if you download/email or receive one it should trigger a response from your software, proving (only!!) that the program has patched itself in correctly. You still have to make sure your defs are up to date. Cheers Steve Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

How do I tie in AVG, can't work it out. AVG is not bad, swapped from Norton (kept screwing my machine up) to Kaspersky (Just didn't like it, too slow) to AVG, so far no problems. Cheers Steve. Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
