>>Quarterdeck ViruSweep blows away McAfee and Symantec in scanning speed while earning comparable virus detection rating.

Jesse, I'd be curious as to where this information is from, or if it is just personal perception?

From everything I've been able to find on VirusSweep / VirusSafe, I've found little competitive reviews. Even EliaShim's website concedes that Norton's offering is a better consumer product and that Dr. Solomon is a better technical product, only touting themselves for administrative value (see eliashim.com, and they don't have any press releases about their products winning competitive awards or anything (see eliashim.com for the press releases), although their website won an award or two.

I don't see anything competitive on the Quarterdeck site either, although the Tuneup.com site has a blurb about the "new" AV solution there has better detection rates and some features the "old" one (which was Norton based) didn't.

Have you found any competitive comparisons of the QDEK product vs. Norton, McAfee, and Solomon?
