Not very scientific of a test with only 8 samples. AV-Comparatives in one test used 23,000 virus files and I think the highest found rate was 13,000. It just depends on which test virus you are using.
I am not a scientist, I did it for fun to see what kind of results I would
get
Even though there were only 8 samples, it shows that AVAST did poorly
while all the others did much better.

I realized that, but my point is if you use 8 other samples you will probably get different results. The old saying, its not what you know, but what questions you are asked.

I just found a site that lets you download the said software. It was stated to be the Ultimate edition 32-bit copy of the software. I'm not sure if it's legit though. .
Any Android users here updated to 2.2 yet? I'm new to Android and wondering if anyone has used this release yet.
Edit: Do I need to backup my photos, data, apps, etc before updating? Or will they all be there and work through the update?
MS just informed everyone that Win 7 RC is officially available from MSDN from April 30. To all from Tuesday May 5,
Those who missed it earlier have a chance now.:D
