Thanks. Just to return the favor, JBob on the grc security software
discussion group (http://www.grc.com/discussions.htm) just suggested a
couple of sites running comparative tests of antivirus programs, including
freeware:

http://www.av-comparatives.org/
I don't trust either set of results, but they make interesting reading.

What is it you don't trust about the results on those sites? Is it
that you not heard of the highly rated products or are the ones you've
heard of rated low?

Neither, it was a poor choice of words. Public testing is good because it
drives competition to improve products, I just prefer the opinions of
people I know and trust.

You can trust the AV Comparatives site. They are reputable and have
been used in many editorials about AV products.
