32% of computers with AV protection are infected
,----[ Quote ]
| A SurfRight report shows statistics that give
| credibility to the lately popular opinion that
| one anti-virus solution is no longer enough to
| be sure your computer isn't infected.
|
| The effectiveness of most anti-virus solutions
| relies still on the quality of the virus
| signatures, and sometimes on the heuristics
| capabilities of the programs. Aided by its
| partners, SurfRight had the idea of bundling
| up 7 anti-virus engines that have at their
| disposal an equal amount of anti-virus
| databases. They called it Hitman Pro 3.
