the speed at which an antivirus developer reacts to new viruses is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of any antivirus.

studies/research showed that Kaspersky Lab was the quickest in responding to new virus threats. (hey sorry i misd the link, will try to post it if i get it agn)

The results of the experiment ranked antivirus developers as follows:

Kaspersky Lab <<<<<<<<<<<
Bitdefender
Virusbuster
F-Secure
F-Prot RAV
AntiVir
Quickheal <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
InoculateIT-CA
Ikarus
AVG
Avast <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Sophos
Dr. Web
Trend Micro <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Norman
Command
Panda
Esafe
A2
McAfee
Symantec <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
InoculateIT-VET
