Gaz, I am curious as to how you can assess the aggressiveness of the
various anti-spyware products, can you elaborate? We often detect and
remove infections that AVG and others don't even see, and they find
things we don't find - I am not sure if you can say one product is more
"aggressive" than another. I believe some of the products are falling
behind a little on the "new" infections, but with the rate they are
coming out, I don't think anyone can stay "on top" of all the
infections.
