360 IS hasn't any firewall and that's bad. Probably they "replaced" it with Bitdefender / Cloud antivirus engine.

Great article, very enlightening.
I agree with most, but some of them have negative points in the proactive defense
I would note 2 or even 1 interface for Avira, already past time to change it, is one of Av more obsolete and ugly interface I know ...
Thank you

Great to see it all in a snapshot.:)

I still think your being over generous about Webroots detection rate.

AV Comparatives not included, I take it. Video reviews on Malware Tips were included, I take it. Which testing companies were included?

Scores for mentioned suites based upon my own experience would be vastly different :).
Ram usage is not a category that should play any role in the test.
Amount of ram used by AV processes has 'almost' nothing to do with system slowdowns.
I would really like to know what kind of testes you did and the procedure.
