[Virus Bulletin] Antivirus' New Test Results

[Zenphic]

Never heard about GDATA before. Apparently, their antivirus has the highest detection rate

Virus Bulletin : News - AV-Test release latest results

In terms of pure detection rates in on-demand scanning, a beta version of GDATA's AVK 2009 topped the charts for both 'malware' (measured against 1,164,662 samples) and 'ad- and spyware' (94,291 samples), with Avira's Premium Security Suite 2008 a close runner-up in the former category and F-Secure 2009 placing second in the latter. Secure Computing's Webwasher gateway product, based on the Avira engine with some in-house heuristics, came third in both categories.

I've heard about GDATA once and then, a German company I believe.

I heard that GDATA has dual engine virus detection
the 2008 version is avast and kaspersky engine
while 2009 version is bitdefender and avast

but not so keen about it after testing it last year
