You appear to have posted the same results on 17 November 2006 but from a different page on PCWELT.de http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=24945.msg204292#msg204292

This has been also covered in the forums, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=25002.msg204800#msg204800 on 20 November 2006.

However this would appear to be a test started in 22 September 2006

The anti-virus programs were brought before beginning of test (22 September) on the current conditions and were not no more updated then.

It’s actually a re-test, with new samples added. Hence the arrows in the table.

Avast beat Microsofts solution by a long shot. Proving that People should stay away from OneCare

Besides this, people are lazy… they will stay with just OneCare and think they’ll be well (best) protected…
The antivirus industry should make an extra effort of advertisement and marketing.
It’s not easy to have MS side by side as a competitor ;D
