McAfee #3? Kaspersky 11? No mention at all of NOD? Nonsense.My laptop has NOD32. Pretty good...pretty good. The results always change. It's impossible for one vendor to stay on top.

Ultimately the best protection is yourself. Safe surfing beats everything... YEP - safe surfing / smart computing - tops on my list as well If you download a program and it tells you to turn off your av while you install to "prevent corruption" no av can stop you. In general, I never trust any of those rankings. Comparative has been maybe the only one, which has been getting pretty close to reality, but the above results are STRANGE, to say the least. I'm not going to trust any ranking, which PLACES McAfee and Norton at numbers 3 and 4. It's simply BS.Payoff much.
