Microsoft OneCare Comes In Last In Antivirus Test

You know I can’t say that I’m really surprised…

When it came to total detection rates, G Data Security’s AVK product caught 99.45% of the malicious code thrown at it. The TrustPort Antivirus Workstation 2.5.0.957 came in second, catching 99.36%; Avira’s Antivir Personal Edition Premium 7.03.01.34 came in third with 98.85%; F-Secure Anti-Virus 2007 7.01.128 came in fourth with 97.91%, and Kaspersky’s Anti-Virus was fifth with 97.89%

Antivirus powerhouse Symantec came in sixth with 96.83%. Fortinet came in 10th with 93.99%, and McAfee came in 14th with 91.63%. Microsoft captured 82.40% of the malicious code.

Symantec on the other hand…I would have hoped for a better score.
