Following its August 2009 on-demand report, AV-Comparatives has released its October 2009 removal comparative. Sixteen products were tested between September 1, 2009 and September 15, 2009 on Windows XP Professional SP3 32bit. The latest updates installed on September 1, 2009. The tests in this latest study focus only on the malware removal/cleaning capabilities of the security products installed on an already infected/compromised system; detection rates and protection capabilities are ignored.
