“
 Virus Bulletin, the independent security certification body, said 17 of 37 anti-virus products tested failed to reach the VB100 certification standard. McAfee VirusScan, Trend Micro Internet Security and Sophos Anti-Virus overlooked threats known to be in circulation. Other vendors whose products failed to make the grade included Alwil, BitDefender, Norman, PC Tools, and VirusBuster.

That's not good... I'm using Trend. Fortunately, I'm not using Vista.

Say's nothing about the AV that I use (Panda), but I have to say that I've had no problems with Panda on Vista. Would have been funny if Microsoft Forefront or Onecare failed

From wht I have heard & read my anti virus is the one that came top (Avira) not sure about Panda, maybe download the free version of Avira just to be sure.
