Windows Live OneCare fails basic virus detection tests
An independent security group that test the effectiveness of the major virus scanners have failed to certify Windows Live OneCare because of it’s crappy performance in the tests.
The following programs were tested:
Avast
AVG
AVIRA
BitDefender
Dr.Web
eScan
NOD32
FortiClient
F-Prot
F-Secure
AVK
Kaspersky
McAfee
MS OneCare
Norman VC
Symantec Norton
Trustport AVW
WIndows Live OneCare on average detected only 80% of infections, whereas other programs such as AVK can boast over 99.4% detection rate of all the viruses detected.
