[QUOTE="Nico@FMA, post: 173530, member: 8154"] With respect to the tests being done they are a moment snap shot, and as many others have pointed out they are nice but do not have any value. Sure they do give a indication and may point out some things but really they do not have any value. For example: privately and professional we are using Symantec Endpoint Protection (the whole package, management server, clients and so on) And I dare to challenge ALL the free brands combined to provide a better security. There is simply no contest. Just saying to set the bar here. In regards to free outclassing paid... based upon a sample pack is the same as 2 hunters shooting at the same deer. Who hits first wins the prize. Really ANY commercial product (Kaspersky, ESET, Sophos, Symantec, Mcafee, Trentmicro and other bigger names) are so close in terms of performance not as a individual tool but more across the whole spectrum as a package. Protection does not end with detection, and neither does it stop with removal. There is so much more to it. And yes I confirm my previous words paid beats free hands down in real world. Obviously I am not saying free antivirus is bad, I am saying they provide the bare minimum. imagine how can you compare a FIAT Panda car to a BMW 700 series? they are both cars but that's about it. Same goes for security solutions. [/QUOTE]
