I knew it was bad, but that's shocking.
I heard McAffee AV failed a virus detection test recently too.

Norton sucks, mcafee sucks, they all suck.. only good anti virus\mal-ware program is Avast if you as me. (if i capitalize something like that, then i am putting in a REAL effort to hold down the shift key, so it must mean something being the lazy person i am..). oh, norton doesnt seem to do too bad here..

ironically nortons icon out performs norton its self.. >.>

as a note, i dont use any of windows internal security crap that they released with xp..

Avast failed miserably in the latest test I saw.
AVG was the best of the free ones, and Steganos/Kapersky came first from the paid versions.
