KAV hands down... no other anti virus beats it... i swear to everything awesome, if you buy KAV you will be protected like a triple wraped tool in a dirty you know what... trust me... KAV = best, updates virus signatures ALOT quick 10 second updates that start automatically that update whenever new viruses are released, or new strains of trojans are released. super fast detection. I love it.

To say that one AV outperforms another top-notch AV is just redic!! There is no way to confirm/test this. Different av's respond/act to different things. Too many av's alert of false positives and this gets really annoying.

Because no-one will admit to having crap software on their computer, their own installed antivirus is always the best.
You will never get a true answer so read as many independant reviews as possible to help make your mind up.

BTW, I have AVG suite and it beats anything out there

^^ Correct The best way to find an answer is to research using google, then?

Find a non-biased website which, may be difficult.

Yeah, or reviews in PC magazines maybe. It's a minefield out there and so hard to get unbiased opinions.
