"AV-TEST therefore decided to investigate the extent to which the use
of an additional Internet security
package can increase the basic
protection provided by Windows 8
even further. The results of the test
show that combining the Windows 8
package with another software suite
significantly increases the average
security of the system.
Markus Selinger
Windows 8 features a complete
security package formed from
Windows Defender and other system tools such
as the Windows Firewall and filter in Internet
Explorer. This basic package was not amended
or deactivated in the AV-TEST study. The
Internet Explorer SmartScreen Filter also
remained constantly activated throughout the
test unless explicitly deactivated by a security
product"

Running AV in 2013? Not sure if people know what VMs and sys restores/wipes are...

Rootkit, FTL !!! They're like luggage, you can hardly ever force yourself to get rid of them. & some can eat backups for lunch--recycle! 😉 (where's that evil smiley when you need one?!)
