Anyway, you finally managed to find a site that rates the crapware also known as Rising AntiVirus. Thread goes in the killfile.

Now my email is filtered I perhaps get a couple of popups a year. Not much of an indication about anything. Perhaps, I'm not trying. > Only the recent entry of MSE rivals it. MSE does quite well in tests. > Not quite yet, but soon to exceed it hopefully. You're just making a fool of yourself again. Empty words. No evidence. > Both are > better at preventing actual infections than AVAST and AntiVir alone with > only Windows firewall. Seriously, you cannot make that statement with any authority. I've just been testing MSE, so far the only objective things I can say is, I had problems getting it updated because of server load. I never have that issue with AVAST, although granted I use the payware, and I don't know if I get preferential, and MSE is interesting in that the license allows for small business use under certain conditions, which may be of interest to some here. > How do I know this, from real world hands on use.

Snip long, completely useless, list of sites that have zero expertise in rating Anti Virus software. > I mean the list of sites highly rating this software rather exceeds the > mentality of some in this group. Certainly your mentality. > They prefer to depend on flawed tests.

Yeah, right! -- ox·y·mo·ron n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra or ox·y·mo·rons A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in Microsoft Security, Microsoft Help and Microsoft Works.
