Re: Antivirus Comparison

[Ty Bodell <tebodell () gmail com>]

Information Security Magazine had a couple cover articles on this in
2004, while the information may be a few months dated it still gives
perspective.  Checkout:

and
http://infosecuritymag.techtarget.com/ss/0,295796,sid6_iss486_art1005,00.html

I'm sure there have been multiple comparisions but these came to mind first.
HTH,
