A lot of security actually depends on the usage pattern of the individual user. I have been using Avast+Comodo for longer than I remember, and I am pretty happy with the solution. [Not to mention, its free.]

i believe in people review that actually use the software on daily basis not only to test the software with some predicted material.. from what I learn and read from other website, avast work pretty good, i just convert from avg to avast and hell yeah I’m happy with it..

EICAR test is worthless. But, its the first thing most AV vendors add to their database. So, kind of surprising.
Also another reason why MSE doesn’t detect it is because EICAR doesnt actually cause any harm. It only has traits of a malware and MSE doesn’t have heuristic scanner.

And the test results were released by AV-Comparatives.org on October 24rth.
