Esets NOD32 or Kapersky, both seem to be the strongest out there.

It's sold through resellers worldwide, so you'll find lots of webpages on it.

Main site is http://www.eset.com and http://www.nod32.com

Of the ones missed, how many of them have specific removal tools listed on their sites. IMO we sometimes forget to check out what tools are available, like McAfee's "Stinger" for one.

Grisoft have a number of specific "fixes" for trojans/worms that are not incorporated in their AVG program.

It's refreshing to see someone who questions VB100 methodology and results even though AVG7 has had excellent results with their tests.
