AV Comparatives - The Best Antivirus Software Comparison Chart

Which is the best antivirus with high detectability rate? Which is the best antivirus for corporate and enterprise with good detection rate? AV Comparatives is an organization dedicated in benchmarking the performance of various antivirus. Read the latest report released on August 2009, the following test is based on ‘On demand detection of malicious software includes false alarm and scanning speed’. The following antivirus was tested:

  • avast! Professional Edition 4.8
  • AVG Anti-Virus 8.5
  • AVIRA AntiVir Premium 9
  • BitDefender Antivirus 2010
  • eScan Anti-Virus 10
  • ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus 4.0
  • F-Secure Anti-Virus 2010
  • G DATA AntiVirus 2010 (Hardware)
  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010
  • Kingsoft Antivirus 2009
  • McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009
  • Microsoft Live OneCare 2.5
  • Norman Antivirus & Anti-Spyware 7.10
  • Sophos Anti-Virus 7.6
  • Symantec Norton Anti-Virus 2010
  • TrustPort Antivirus 2009


Do note that G Data is a German security solution, it is a hardware based security. I was surprised by Kaspersky’s performance, and the sudden increase in reliability of Norton Antivirus. I am a Norton user for many years, and based on my own experience, the best ‘antivirus’ is still our browsing habit. They are:

  • Avoid downloading unknown attachment
  • Do not visit suspicious websites
  • Do not install unknown applications such as screensavers or toolbars from unreliable source
  • Avoid downloading ‘free’ pirated software from torrent
