Microsoft Antivirus Fails Certification

In what can only be seen as a significant embarrassment, Microsoft's much vaunted Live OneCare antivirus application (and three other Vista antivirus products) have all failed Virus Bulletin VB100 certification tests. The results are surprising, especially considering the myriad delays Microsoft experienced releasing its new products specifically to ensure heightened security.

My recommendation is you load Windows systems (excepting Vista for now) with Grisoft's AVG Anti-Virus. The software long ago earned certification, boasts low-overhead, proves unobtrusive, uses fewer system resources than most every other antivirus engine out there and generally performs effectively identifying and eliminating viruses and other infections. On several occasions I've found AVG locates and removes active viruses on systems running current Norton and McAfee software! Best of all, AVG's priced reasonably for businesses and is free for use by residential users.
