The most miserable antivirus program.

The following are findings (conducted by researcher Andreas Cleenti) on Microsoft’s Windows Live OneCare product after comparing with antivirus programs from other vendors:

When it comes to Trojans and malware detection, Windows OneCare got the last position out of 13 vendors. Detection time is 79.6%

Windows OneCare also ranked last out of 15 vendors in detecting virus, worms and other OS threats. Detection time is 91%

The reason why I dubbed Windows OneCare the most miserable one is that a recent update to OneCare got the Outlook.PST file quarantined, preventing users from accessing emails from Outlook which is one of Microsoft’s products.
