Hi malware fighters,
Reaction time has been thoroughly tested by the German magazine:
Computer Bild. For one year they looked how long it took for 8 AV
solutions to protect against new malware.
In this test Symantec performed very poorly, with a miserable 16 hrs.
McAfee too performed badly with a mere 6.5 hrs reaction time.
The overall winner was G DATA. Their AntiVirusKit 2006 offers protection
against a new virusbiedt after approx. 19 minutes.
