Thank you everyone for the great inputs.I've recently been assigned
information security duties and everything comes as a challenge.
I will probably be testing NOD32,McAfee and Kaspersky but rather than
having to trust in third-party AV reviews , i would like to conduct
one myself.I've googled it and I found a basic model as a
reference.Any recommendation to do this? Some of the parameters to be
measured: load on cpu and mem, detection effectiveness,administration
console,antivirus & malware functions.Specially on this last
parameter,i wonder how accurate this malware detection is when having
to deal with thousands a obscure phishing sites of a bank in the other
side of the world?
I'd appreciate any comment on the above mentioned AV.

Thanks,

Reflect
