Anyone know of a pretty good Anti-virus comparison chart?

To date I've always used separate packages for virus checks, (Avast running live) malware, (Malwarebytes, periodic scan, or if suspicious) Spyware/trackers. (Superantispyware, periodic scan)

I've never yet been hit with something that has meant more than being escorted off my PC/Laptop with its arm up the back, so-to-speak... I've not come across anything as good as Avast as yet, but am curious to see if anything new has come onto the scene. :)

If you know of any, please bin automatically anything that promotes McAfee. :D

Yep that makes perfect sense. The thing is, we know what to avoid and are 'street-wise' on the 'net.

There are a few friends who regularly ask me to sort out the viruses and other nasty stuff that cheerfully stroll past McAfee. So, I would like to show them a comparison chart that rightly trashes the duff stuff and duly elevates anti-virus that whups the efforts of malevolent miscreants... :)
