RF> Nothing will detect 100% of all viruses 100% of the time (within the
RF> accepted parameter of "detection before infection"), but AVP is the
RF> clear winner in Secure Computing's January 1998 full-house scanner
RF> comparison, detecting 96% of the 10000+ _verified alive and kicking_
RF> viruses used in the test.
RF> #2 was Dr Solomon's at 94% ... which means it missed over 200 viruses.
within the confines of the test then, avp would appear to be the better
product... however, the test missed somewhere on the order of 5000
viruses so the difference between drdollys and avp is well within the
degree of error for the test...
RF> Does "200 misses" mean you reject Solly's out-of-hand ? :)
not in light of the degree of error... avp's true detection rate could
well be below 80%, though that figure is unlikely...
... the "any" key is that red button by the power switch...
