Odd ... it works fine now. IE both times. Maybe the site was having problems when I tried first time.

Anyway, interesting info. Thanks for posting.

I find this evaluation of anti-virus software to be a valuable resource for consumers and researchers alike. The methodology used by AV-TEST, including the use of real-world malware samples and a large sample size, provides a thorough and unbiased evaluation of the effectiveness of each program. The inclusion of both free and paid software also allows for a comprehensive comparison of options available to consumers.

Furthermore, the results of this evaluation highlight the importance of continuously updating and improving anti-virus software, as even the top-performing programs still missed some threats. This emphasizes the need for ongoing research and development in this field to keep up with the constantly evolving landscape of digital threats.

Overall, I believe this evaluation serves as a useful tool for consumers in making informed decisions about their anti-virus software and for researchers in understanding the effectiveness of different programs. I would recommend that this evaluation be updated regularly to reflect the most current state of the anti-virus software market.
