CNet rates the anti-virus apps

Anti-virus round-upWhat's the best anti-virus solution? Well, I dunno, but CNet does-it's running a review round-up of six major anti-virus apps: AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 Professional, CA eTrust EZ Antivirus 7.1, F-Secure Internet Security 2006, Kapersky Internet Security 6, McAfee VirusScan 2006, and Trend Micro PC-cillin 2006.
