Hopefully someone will listen
Ok! ……. So you bought a new Machine. And in comes with a 30 60 or 90 day FREE AntiVirus. I don’t think many people understand; The antivirus software can only find what they know about. I have had over 10 Computers BADLY INFECTED; that their owners thought were protected. They had active antiVirus Software some were even up to date. But there was no indication of infection except the typical unexplaoned system behaviour do to a Virus , [actually multiple virii].Now I come across independent confirmation to what I have been telling my friends and customers.

| Why Popular AV Doesn’t Work “The most popular brands of antivirus on the market… have an 80 percent miss rate… So if you are running these pieces of software, eight out of 10 pieces of malicious code are going to get in,” said Ingram.Although Ingram didn’t mention any of the leading losers by name, Gartner’s figures for 2005 show that Symantec is the clear leader with 53.6 percent of the market. McAfee and Trend own 18.8 percent and 13.8 percent of the market respectively….. |

Although one AntiVirus I recommend gets a different rating….
————————————————————————————–
One vendor Ingram did mention was Russian outfit Kaspersky, which in the same tests managed to block around 90 percent of new malware.
According to Gartner, Kaspersky’s market share is a lowly 0.7 percent.
