Anti Virus/Anti Spyware Suite Shootout Results

Here are the results of a very well done study on the effectiveness of current anti-virus/anti-spyware suites.
Review of the review here.
The top of the current list is Nortons latest suite.
They did not test Microsoft’s new/updated foray into this arena – their Freeware solution;
Microsof Security Essentials.
As I have mentioned previously I have been a fan of Norton for a while. They have done a good job of reducing the memory and process footprint compared to previous editions.
I am however very impressed with Microsoft’s Security Essentials application.
I recently had a collegue who’s systems was infected and Norton AND Trend Micro could not effect a solution.
But Security Essentials DID!
I think it is a good free solution and worth checking out.
Keep safe out there.
