[QUOTE="James246, post: 883267, member: 69314"] I agree the average user is not going to face 20000 viruses at once but could face any one at any point of time, from the 350000 that are apparently released every day, so the tests are not completely useless but also are not the perfect representation of true security.. Despite what these test results might imply it is most unlikely that any antivirus is going to be able to stop everything. A good addition to a simple antivirus would be :- 1) Voodoo Shield or 2) Spyshelter Firewall (for more advanced users) or 3) Comodo (with the Cruel Lady settings) There are of course one or two others.
