Actually they have a point.. The malware on the site worked on IE only..

Well, I am a Firefox user, and I just scanned my PC using Kaspersky 2009. Found nothing.

And avg detects 93% of viruses

If I had any more space on my signature, I would insta-sig this. Right along with my Winston Churchill quote about the five-minute talk with an average voter. Where in the Heavens did you pull that figure out???? AVG will be lucky if it picks up 20%. AVG has been pretty rotten recently, in the past 1.5 years, as it has consistently failed to deliver updates in time.

It used to be better than Avast!, but now I would go with the latter. If AVG was that good, it would not receive 30th and 20th places in malware-protection program competitions. And people would not buy the shoddy Norton, McAfee, Symantec, etc. Seriously, AVG, Avast! and ClamWin detect nothing in comparison to everything else.

Now, the paid versions of AVG and Avast! are considerably better, although not 93%, they are still quite good. However, practically no one uses the paid ones. If you are going to pay for your antivirus, may as well get something better. Majority of the people use the free anti-malware programs.

and kaspersky with 97% is a bit better.

Correction: 98%. But it depends on the source of course. Different test demonstrate different detection rates. I would like your source for that, however.

And I dont have any antivirus installed as my brain is one..never had a virus and I scan with kaspersky and nod32 every few months..

Good that you use Kaspersky. Either KAspersky or BitDefender is splendid. Both always take the top three places in all competitions. As for nod32, it uses very little memory, and it performs reasonably well, plus fast, but I need an antivirus that detects infections, no matter how long it takes. I need something that works. I will not compromise my security for speed. That is why I use Kaspersky.
