Alphabetical(!) You know, you start with A for the first >character and move through the list. Duh... Unfortunately I am unable to get in to read the actual report. Usually they all fail some and are ranked in order of effectiveness or something. So basically if they fail anything they hit the "failed" list? I was wondering if they rated Comodo Antivirus. For some reason it is either unknown or ignored by many such tests. John W.
