To see complete results for August (twelve more vendors), go to http://www.av-comparatives.org/en/comparativesreviews/dynamic-tests and view the monthly report. More important though, are results over a period of time. For a one quarter write-up http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/dyn/wpdt2011_1_en.pdf K7 has improved a lot in the August results.

The 2012 versions of antivirus and internet security suites have been rolling out of the last couple of months. These will probably be incorporated into the test bed, replacing the 2011 versions.
