Avast/AVG the new heavy tumbstone on a system

I also find this strange, stranger still is that if you go look at the other tests (since 2011), Norton always wins

The report is useless I guess Norton have done everything in their hands to be the first.
We don't know how they have weighed the result of each test, and some of the test and quite irrelevant like MB used in disk or RAM usage.
It would be nice if someone can copy the results to an excel file so we can discard useless tests and give the same weight to all test or more weight to the most relevant.

i see a shared experience with my pc system. Norton is on my system really impressive light. Panda the same experience.Gdata is without tweaks heavy.
I feel on my system an impact with trend micro too.
there are a lot of components wich make a difference on each other system.....but i would not
say that this test is bullshit.

there are similar performance results @ av-test and av-c

A sponsored report...

How to read a sponsored test if
1. X is the sponsor
2. X gets 1st place

Read the results beginning from the 2nd place onward. In this case, ESET has the best performance in the report.
