Windows
Live Onecare, the new anti-virus program from
Microsoft,
was the only program to fail a recent independent test of anti-virus products.
The test by
AV
Comparatives put 17 security programs through their paces, with 14 of those
attaining an 'advanced pass' or better, and two being rated 'standard'. The only
one to fail was Onecare, which picked up only 83 per cent of the viruses it was
supposed to detect.
The program, which has been in testing during 2006, is Microsoft's first
anti-virus program. AV Comparatives conducts tests on leading security software
every three months. A spokesman for the Austrian company said: "Microsoft
Onecare performed very low in the test."
In response, a Microsoft spokesman
told
the BBC: "We are looking closely at the methodology and results of the test
to ensure that Windows Live Onecare performs better in future tests."
