There is no way we could tell how good an antivirus is especially for people who know little or nothing about computer. When we are about to decide which antivirus to go for we may collect as many information as we could from magazines, websites and friend's recommendation but their recommendations may subject to several factors such as personal experience. So you may still end up confused with mix up feedbacks from them.

Leak test is one good way of performing security test by simulating different kind of manipulations and attacks on a computer system WITHOUT actually harming our machines. At the end of the tests there are some sort of statistics telling you which tests your antivirus software passes with flying color and which it fails.

Comodo Leak test is one of the many leak tests available on the net. It is a portable security software that will test an antivirus software that is installed on your computer (Windows) with a total of 34 different tests. It provides the means to find out if your computer system is fully or partially protected against common attacks found remotely and locally.

Anyway the following screenshots show how my Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 and Norton Antivirus 2009 performed in this test.

The series of tests consist of rootkits tests followed by invasion, injection, sending information, impersonation and hijacking tests. With each test passed you will get 10 point with the maximum points is 340. You can see the the result details after the tests are completed. Basically it tells you what each test is doing and possible danger you are exposed to if it manages to sneak up on your computer.
