I used to be rather fond of F-Prot. But in recent months I am able to test
the various AV solutions against malware collected by some major parties.
And all of a sudden F-Prot is falling rather behind.
My test collection shot from 45k to over 100k of unique samples in 3
months. And F-Prot scores only 32%. ClamAV scores 74%.
These are rather crude results at the moment as I need to rewrite a lot of
the parsing scripts to handle the new setup. But I hope to present more
detailed information in a month or so.

Some men see computers as they are and say "Windows"
I use computers with Linux and say "Why Windows?"
