Of course, detecting a threat doesn't always mean successfully preventing the attack. The top scorer for actual malware blocking was PC Tools Internet Security 2010, at 94.8 percent.

I'm not surprised seeing that their ThreatFire app has been a popular download among many at one point in time...I'm pretty sure they have collected database from that...and furthermore, Symantec Acquires PC Tools now...
