Spybot vs ClamAV


I believe that Spybot is better than ClamAV!
I have used both Anti Virus programs on my own pc. And have carefully tested both in virtual environments as well. You can see the test results in the comparison table below. Where it is obvious that Spybot is a better choice than ClamAV!
