And their result for the one a lot of us use on here, Avast free version
And if you re-order that table by protection/repair level, you will see Kaspersky and one or two other commercial products rank higher.

As with all these sorts of tests and reviews, it all depends on the scope of the tests, many AV testers will run a series of tests with different scopes and so you need to take an overall view across all scopes rather than just focusing on one.

You should also never depend on a single review/test to determine a products suitability, sure AV-Test.org are well known, but they're not the only respected and well established AV testers on the block.

Finally, you need to remember that Anti-Virus should form part of a layered security model. You should not rely on it exclusively for your protection.
