Personally I believe in this labs test and active infection removal is one of the most important area of Antivirus. It's good that both Dr Web and Kaspersky keep their place intact for they both have free rmoval tools which are very effective.

Thank you sujay

I also like tests on active malware even if there is something unconvincing in my opinion

Platinum award Dr Web v 4.44 (it is likely they do not know that Dr Web v 6 has been released months ago).
I tested it and I was a little bit disapponitend considering that Dr Web Cure it is one of the best free removal tools

Bronze award Agnitum Outpost Antivirus Pro 6.5 ................................. (I prefer not to express any opinion)
