However, this AV uses 5 engines. Avira had the second highest detection rates (99.6%). It uses 1 engine. AVK had the third highest detection rates (99.5%). Again, this AV uses 2 engines. KAV had the fourth highest detection rates (98.3%). It uses 1 engine (v7 was tested). AVG had the fifth highest detection rates (98.1%). It uses 1 engine. Those are the top 5. Symantec and NOD32 tied for 6th place with 97.7% detection. Looks like Avira and KAV remain the top two engines. -- QUAD!!!!

It is AVG ANTI-MALWARE that ranked 5th. AVG itself was NOT tested and would rank much lower. So, those using AVG FREE version are not getting the protection that is shown in this test. -- "The same ferocity that our founders devoted to protect the freedom and independence of the press is now appropriate for our defense of the freedom of the internet.
