I do not know much about QNET Labs (I found this website only some days ago), but it may be of interest:
QNET Labs tests only against viruses that try to propagate themselves across networks observed in the honeypot network of QNET Labs.
Tested products: Avast!, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, ClamAV, F-Prot, Kaspersky, McAfee, NOD32, Panda, Symantec.
I am unable to see the full results, but at time (9.November 2007) of writing this post (results are updated daily), the scores of the first three products are:
- Avira (95.77% / 92.59%)
- Kaspersky (92.13% / 95.65%)
- AVG (92.02% / 90.06%)
lowest score is: 54.22% / 27.69% (which I
guess corresponds to ClamAV)
Other similar tests based on samples gathered thru honeypots are available at e.g.:
CSRRT Nepenthes (only 5 products are tested)
Stats from 11/11/2007:
1. Avira 69%
2. Norman 62%
3. Bitdefender 50%
4. F-Prot 46%
5. ClamAV 31%
Shadowserver:
Shadowserver seems to be a good site for information about botnet activities and statistics.
The tests they provide (over a large amount of samples collected thru honeypots) are done under Linux, therefore the results may differ a bit from the windows versions (due different programs/settings etc.). More info can be found
here.
The following stats are updated every day - visit the Shadowserver website for up-to-date results:
