[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 843400"] But he is somehow right, he doesn't need to be an expert. In real life most AV/suites behave the same, detect > alert or block/quarantine. All those test aren't really worthy, a risky user will encounter, what ? 3 malware a month, a normal one maybe one a year...me? none in 20+ years, i had to go to malware referencing site to find some to play with...LOL. The real difference is how the user respond. I can use the worst AV ever made, i will be safer than a happy clicker with the self-claimed "best" AV. Also, you can't compare what isn't comparable, to be comparable properly, the products must have the same features and be used the same way, which is hardly the case now. So yes he is right, if i was a noob coming on this thread, i will probably will be misguided by emotionally-guided opinions. The only thing you can be sure is the AV's [U]reliability [/U]not efficiency (which varies depending of the context). so "best, powerful, strongest, blablabla" aren't the right terms to use, "reliable" is.
