Just read an article on the speed of anti virus vendors. How fast are
they with new definitions. Measured between februari 15 and march 15.
When the first one detected a new (version of a) virus time was started.
All others where measured untill they started to detect the same
(version of) the virus.

Averages:               (rank)
Kaspersky       00:43      1
F-port          01:38      3
F-secure        02:41      7
AVG             03:32      8
