The test report, on which this BBC article is based, makes for some very interesting reading.

For example:

- The top 5 rated utilities in this study are all multi-engine products (such as GData's "AVK" (highest rated) which utilizes both the Kapersky and BitDefender engines.)

- Our little friend AVG did quite well, scoring an impressive 96.37% (vs. 96.83% for Symantec, 96.71% for NOD32 and only 91.63% for McAfee)

The latest test results (February 2007) are available HERE (pdf format)

AVG has don well with it's Ewido buyout. I actually wasn't impressed with most of the test results, as almost across the board detection rates have fallen.
