Abstract

In Matt Ham's final comparative review for Virus Bulletin he puts 26 products for Windows XP through their paces. Two products enter the test line-up for the first time this month: TrustPort Antivirus and the rather more well-known Microsoft OneCare. In his own inimitable style, Matt provides rude comments and/or praise for all products, as well as the all-important VB 100% results.
