Some antivirus companies have many in-house viruses ... viruses which
have never appeared in the wild/won't reproduce/whatever ... which puff
up their collections and make them look bigger/better/whatever to the
gullible public.
Secure Computing rejects these viruses as unsuitable ... ergo, they
conducted their test against just over 10,000 REAL, LIVE, VERIFIED, and
VIABLE viruses.
AVP currently claims "only" 12240 viruses in its database.  Are you
saying Solly's is better because it claims to detect an additional 4000
viruses ... THEIR OWN "VIRUSES ... the bulk of which Secure Computing
seems to have rejected as unsuitable for testing ?
Are you becoming a member of the gullible public ?

EXTREMELY unlikely!
