Comparing antivirus software.

AV-Comparatives is a great place to review which antivirus software is up to par and which one is lagging behind its peers. AV-Comparatives has this great new tool which allows you to review whole-product dynamic detection rates of the different AV suites.  The exception that is missing is Microsoft's free MSE, which is actually a very good AV, and is included in AV-Comparatives' other tests for detection rates -- not sure why they're not included, but it could be because MSE is not a suite that includes multiple tools other than basic antivirus.



Notice that McAfee doesn't do very well...I guess that 30-day free McAfee software included in my laptop is not worth keeping.
