Test of 16 Anti-Virus Products Says None Rates "Very Good"
An anonymous reader writes "AV-Comparative recently released the results of a malware removal test in which they evaluated 16 anti-virus software solutions. The test focused only on the malware removal/cleaning capabilities, therefore all the samples used were ones that the tested anti-virus products were able to detect. The main question was if the products were able to successfully remove malware from an already infected/compromised system. None of the products performed at a level of 'very good' in malware removal or removal of leftovers, based on those 10 samples."

Guess they didn't try:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
Only sane way to remove viruses. Rates an "Excellent".
I guess the equivalent in Windows is to buy a new computer. Also, an "Excellent" method.
Mod parent up! He just upgraded my arsenal of meaningless statements that convey authority.

It's like a piece of wood, a tape measure and a saw. If the person doesn't use the tape measure properly, and saws the wood too short, there isn't any magic that can fix the problem.
Ah muggles... you never cease to amuse me!
My mom used to say 'Want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up faster.'
Well? What were the results? How many times did you repeat the experiment?
