Introduction - What makes our test differ from other tests

Several antivirus programs have been developed to protect pc users against viruses, that both include both detection of the virus and repairing of the infected files, whenever it is possible. Unfortunately, once again, the dominant ones are those that have the best methods of advertisement and not the ones that "do their job best".

Why is this test different from all the others (e.g. pc magazines' antivirus tests)

These tests are conducted by the only Greek virus collector, known as VirusP), webmaster of virus.gr, whose collection consists of approximately 600,000 virus samples (crc32 different files) and is one of the biggest virus collections worldwide. On the contrary, all other greek tests' database never exceeds the 6,000 virus samples, while internationally most tests' database doesn't exceed the 20,000 virus samples. So, if you take under consideration the number of both antivirus programs tested and unique virus samples used, you will understand that, statistically speaking, the results of the test would not be too different even if we used 99% of all computer viruses ever made
