	* = read the report for details ( ! )
	** = new malware samples appeared between the 5th August and the 31th August 2007
	This test shows the proactive on-demand detection capability that the scanners had in August 2007 with best possible detection settings.
	To determine how good a scanner is in detecting malware on-demand in general with updated signatures, have a look on our February and August tests.
