I guess the real point is that the tests used all the capacity of the suites, not just the AV:
"In this test, all protection features of the product can be used to prevent infection - not just signatures or heuristic file scanning. A suite can step in at any stage of the process – accessing the URL, download- ing the file, formation of the file on the local hard drive, file access, file execution "

Ah very good point! That's why we need that new i7 to run Norton with its AV, Firewall, Privacy Guard, Link Scanner, NSA Notifier, and some other stuff in there!
My only issue with bitdefender is that it tries to block far too many URLs/websites for my liking. I'm sure it's stopped me from using pastebin in the past because it blocks the post.php page (or whatever it is called) when you submit.

I had it block all internet traffic on multiple computers. It all happened within a few days so I think they must have had a bad update go out. I know I removed it from at least 7 computers.
