I am highly skeptical of anyone or website that is rating software based in what is installed on computers. Similarly I never take serious any security software ratings from websites that have security software adverting or links to purchase this software. The one exception is - http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php. Once you read the process involved in testing and how hard they are on the software companies the ads have absolutely no relationshp to the labs ratings. I did some extensive searches looking of anti-virus testing and kept seeing the same thing about ESET NOD32, it ranks consitently near the top. However, I should point out that their ranking drops when their NOD32 suite is tested. It drops because of the integrated firewall. But as a stand alone anti-virus it is near the top. I've never had need to call NOD support, but I have yet to find anyone offering great support. I agree with Anteaus.
