thats hard to find, and not everybody is gonna agree with other people's findings, basically you have like your top 3 or 4, if you get one of those you are good to go. eset, kaspersky, avg are just some of the good ones.

Virus Bulletin (virusbtn), ICSA Labs (icsalabs) are a couple of well respected players in this space; however I don't think you are going to find consensus to this question on your criteria.

I'd add the latest Symantec and BitDefender to the list of top tier.  Most, if not all, have 30 days trials so you can try before you buy.

Found this from Consumer Search.  It gives ratings an comments on some sources of anti-virus testing.  May or may not be helpful: consumersearch.com/antivirus-software/reviews.

Try this site http://www.av-comparatives.org/ The reviews/tests are in PDF so you'll have to download whatever you want.

You'll likely need to review the site and reports to determine that.
