I'm interested in NOD32 because that's what I use to scan computers I fix for people. Catches a few less virii, but generally cleans the system much faster.................
Yup, you caught me. I'm evil, untrustworthy, and unintelligent. I clearly haven't thought this through.So you would rather get the job done faster, then properly and potentially leave something behind, just to be faster..... remind me not to let you scan my system.

I think there's something to be said for benchmark-like synthetic results and real-world results.

*Edit* Screw it, it's not worth the time to explain. Quit trolling.

Something's getting optimized somewhere, though. AVG finds less virii according to that chart, yet takes like 3-4 times as long to do a full scan. AntiVir seems to be about 50% (give or take 10%) faster than AVG based on a very quick little test I did. Maybe the moral is that AVG just sucks?Also, since it would seem that virus scanning is primarily an I/O bound task it would be reasonable to suspect any program running substantially faster must be cutting corners, and the ****tiness of NOD32 corrobrates these claims.
You got me. I'm just trying to impress everyone so they'll like me. The internets are everything.well how do we know you didnt run that test twice ?? once to get rid of all your left-overs and again to prove to us that your clean ..
