Hmm. How accurate are these tests? Who says so, and what qualifies them to say so? More importantly, where if anywhere is the bias, i.e. are they trying to push their own software by claiming it's better? It would hardly be the first time. As Commander Vimes might say, "Where's the money?"

I judge AV and firewall software on results, i.e. does it stop your PC being hacked and/or catching viruses? Since mine (McAfee) does, I don't put much faith in that scoreboard. I hardly think McAfee would be so popular if their software was as full of holes as the scoreboard implies; I don't recall ever reading any complaints on their forum about it being easily hackable.

Installation problems and bug reports, yes, but at least it seems to be secure.
