It was a joke Mr Serious face!
Just because the subject was specifically AV, what people were really talking about was all round protection.
When talking PC protection... something like MS Security Essentials is a very good all round solution. Nowadays threats to PC health are mostly not through virus infection, but malware infection. Basic protection would best include malware protection. The conclusions of a specialist av comparison site that doesn't yet factor malware threat are pretty weak.
