That topic was exactly what I was thinking of. Those so-called independent testers were paid to do that research by antivirus companies, probably just to slam Microsoft. And Googling for results to find those sites probably forced your antivirus to stop a few drive by downloads. Guess what? Even the best antivirus server companies like TotalVirus use Microsoft Security Essentials. Don't get me wrong, they use just about every dependable antivirus software available. BTW, you have a temper tantrum every time someone does not slavishly agree with you, which started your trolling of me. |

You must mean VirusTotal and they are simply a site that run a file you upload through a number of AV software, so what if they use MSE? It just helps show you how bad MSE is when VirusTotal shows you other AV catching something but not MSE. ''Those so-called independent testers were paid to do that research by antivirus companies.'' Even if they are, what is your point? Are you saying MS doesn't have enough money to get their AV from the bottom of the list in the tests? Also I now want your proof that they are paid by AV makers and they are giving out biased results You talk so much s**t Mok. |

No, I have more years experience than you. Get it right, kiddo.

And the point of paid testers are that they are starting their so-called research biased. So that is why I never trust them, they formed an opinion and then proved it.

''The solution actually turned out to be very simple: if all manufacturers pay the same fee in order for their product to be tested, none of them can be advantaged or disadvantaged. In some cases it can happen that a highly demanded either by users or magazines - vendor is tested even if it did not apply for it. In this case, the costs will be covered either by the magazines or by other independent parties, which requested the results.'' Same fee, d*ckbutt. ''There was much debate as to how to support AV-Comparatives without compromising its most important quality, namely its neutrality. Payment must not be allowed to have any influence on test results.'' Not going to bother looking at the other site, they will have the same sort of thing. These are the top sites/organisations in the world to get reliable information on anti virus software, the only more reliable you can possibly get is to painstakingly do the tests yourself. |

its in their interests to scare ppl into buying av, unless you are really dumb or use facebook you could easily not have av installed. Better off with apps like shadow defender, sandboxie ect. But each should do what they're comfortable with.

The 9 month offer has expired so i grabbed a 30 day trial anyway to check it out. I like trying out different programs just for testing purpose. Haven not had a anti virus protection for a while now Usually the microsoft security essencials does the trick as im very careful what and were i am downloading stuff and what emails i open.

trouble is just testing av is that its often not easy to fully uninstall, even with the tools they offer. I'm still finding stuff from bitdefender 6months later
