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.
