[QUOTE="ErzCrz, post: 896106, member: 81799"] These tests really are subjective. I enjoy reading them but more interested in real world test results. WD used to be really slow, particularly in XP and Vista days but in general I don't notice a great deal of slowing unless WD is scanning in the background which it seems to always do at the wrong time for me LOL. Vendors come and go but my advice to people is either use what Microsoft has built-in or go with the mainstream options. McAfee and Norton are practically given away these days (less that £20) for the year. McAfee was ok on my machine when I used it and haven't used Norton in years but it's meant to be a lot faster now too. Anyway, if you want 3rd party AV to hook into your system to protect it, go with a third party option, otherwise WD, a useful tool like H_C and your good to go. These tests are just a guide and half the time AV labs pay and/or get samples early. I still remember the fiasco with av-comparatives and Comodo years ago. Just my 2 pence... P.S. The Total AV and SafetyDetectives.com is pretty much a paid for scam or at least biased reviews I read somewhere. [/QUOTE]
