[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 819574"] I agree with everything you said, especially these parts. Some may see me as anti-testing, but that's far from the truth. I find them valuable and they can provide some interesting information, but often they don't translate to whats really happening in the real world. It's not so much that I hate tests, but rather the constant "oh, x product sucks, it missed 1 piece of malware, it didn't get 100%" that gets thrown around. For the record I'm not trying to single anyone here out, it's just the general reaction every time a test is done, professional, YouTube, or otherwise and a product misses something (comments from YouTube and forums in general). Like you I always preach to test a product for yourself and make the decision if you like the product or not. Take advantage of the trial periods and use them as long as you can to get a good idea if it's right for you. At the end of the day when you look at everything, all major products, Kaspersky, WD, Eset, Emsisoft, Norton, etc... (all other vendors I missed), pretty much offer excellent protection. The vast majority of users would be fine using a product from any of the the major vendors and be safe. There's far more to a product than how much malware it caught on a "test", such as performance, ease of use, privacy, etc... I have my parents using Eset AV and I have yet to see them get infected, so despite what a test result may say, it seems like Eset is doing it's job when it comes to my parents computer.(y) [/QUOTE]
