How would one really know? If it never saw any mal-ware, then did it do its job or was it the worst anti-virus software out there?
Consumer Reports did a study (maybe one year ago) by subjecting anti-virus softwares to a large directory of mal-ware. Symantec that was once touted as a best was then something like 1/3rd from the bottom in that Consumer Reports study. Finding an answer backed by valid reasoning is difficult.
Now, if 30% of machines are contaminated by Conflcker, well, where are the many Dwellers who reported their anti-virus software found and removed it?
