Av-Comparatives has recently released its annual comparison in May, located here: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/avc_report22.pdf
Interesting results. I'd like to see other metrics factored into the testing. For example, module 'robustness'. For example, suppose a malware author can surreptitiously block the update service. Then, it does not matter how often the vendor publishes its updates or how often the client poll for the new definitions. I agree theat Microsoft and ESET are among the better products (Advanced+ rating). But Kaspersky clearly does not belong in the same category when using additional metrics.

Hi everyone, I would suggest doing some research into selecting an appropriate anti-virus first. It doesn't matter how good of a management console you have, if the anti-virus can't catch viruses. :-) Av-Comparatives has recently released its annual comparison in May, located here: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/avc_report22.pdf Virus-Bulletin also has its own comparatives, which get awarded its VB100 award, located here: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/results?display=summary (Free registration is required to view) Based on our research, we selected Eset NOD32 as our Anti-virus, and use their remote administrator server and console. However, their remote administrator server still has some bugs and requires some polish.
