| | Most Effective Antivirus Tools Against New Malware Interesting results in this test: Most Effective Antivirus Tools Against New Malware Binaries Top 5: Ikarus Microsoft Security Essentials Avira AVG Dr. Web Most noteably, ESET (Nod32) was 30th out of 30. Not a lot of information though about versions used, etc. They note v2 for Nod32 for example. If so, then obviously not a fair test as that is an old version. |

| | Doesn't Microsoft Security Essentials have no zero-day protection? As in signature only? The versions tested should have been the newest though. |

| | I dont agree with this test. Avast at 16th and ESET NOD32 V2 at 30th. Not a fair competition. |
