images/news/security.jpgLast week AV-Comparatives.org released the results of their recent "Whole Product Dynamic Test" - a test challenging anti-malware products to protect test systems as if in the real world. This week they've got a new one for us - a performance test on the same collection of products. The virus experts timed a variety of commonplace actions with and without each product installed and compared the results to determine which had the least impact on system performance.

Norton AntiVirus 2010, Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0, avast! Free 5.0 and seven others received three stars (the highest rating ADVANCED+); AVIRA AntiVir Premium 9.0 eked out the highest score. Even the low scorers eScan AntiVirus 10.0 and Trustport Antivirus 2010 achieved STANDARD (one star) protection.
