Spyware is the most common malware threat followed by Rogue Security Software. Kaspersky protects the best against Rogue Security Software and Trend Micro is the worst. Symantec protects against spyware the best, and Kaspersky the worst. Trend protects the best against keyloggers and Avast fares the worst. Kaspersky protects against viruses the best, and Symantec tails the pack.
