Nope. Not reliable.

I see they recommend switching Airport off, that will certainly stop internet viruses 100%.
Your valid source just invalidated itself.
None of the products generated false positives ... and ZeoBit MacKeeper 2012 all detected 100 percent of the threats,
This is just one of the formerly valid source's many errors.
Deactivate any services such as Sirport, Bluetooth, or IPv6 that you don't use
Definitely don't use Sirport.
- Never use an administrator account for day-to-day computing.
- Use a sandboxed browser such as Google Chrome
- Uninstall/disable the standalone Flash Player
- Uninstall/disable the Java Player
- Keep your Mac operating system up-to-date with the latest patches
- Use secure passwords (the Mac includes the KeyChain password manager)
- Deactivate any services such as Sirport, Bluetooth, or IPv6 that you don't use
Never says anything about switching your "Airport"off I think you might need some coke bottles attached to your face to help you see.

There is no such thing as Sirport, your info is erroneus.
That's a crap study. AV-Comparatives is paid by the anti-virus companies. You can't trust anything they say.
See this one:
Mackeeper is a program that generates viruses so that you are pushed to buy it.

Are you sure that is what you want to say? It's nonsensical.
The Program creates viruses that it knows how to remove and then it makes you want to buy it so it "Can fix the problem". Mackeeper struck an ad at me that cuased my mac to crash.

If that made sense (it doesn't), then why are you pushing an article that claims MacKeeper catches 100% of all malware? Do I smell troll?

You have supporting evidence for that claim I assume.
I could care less but the back ground of the writer is quite impressive and leads me to belive that he is somewhat knows what he is talking about.

He doesn't, and neither do you!

Strange, my copy of the pdf says:
7. Deactivate any services such as Airport, Bluetooth, or IPv6 that you don't use
