You get to talk about this Fightclub. Kaspersky wins again.
I would be somewhat wary of ClamAV though since it seems to suffer from loads of security holes: http://secunia.com/product/2538/?task=statistics_2007 versus the Kaspersky results: http://secunia.com/product/10470/?task=statistics_2007
Also, refer back to the previous posting Juxtaposition: Antivirus bakeoff public results for another source of AV comparisons.

Only three (Clam, Kaspersky, Norton) call all of these. Three others (F-Prot, Sophos, Mcafee) missed a few ranging from an 80-90% catch rate - not very good considering these are all really common viruses, but certainly better than others. GlobalHauri and the gateway appliances (Sonicwall, Fortinet, Watchguard) all performed poorly - catching about 60% and less of these common viruses. Watchguard would only catch one virus (the eicar test virus), which is odd because I thought they used the ClamAV engine.
