I know most of these suites are tested at their default settings from the manufacturer, but some of them really do not impress at all. That is why I made my quasi suite with Threatfire, Malware Defender and Sandboxie--there is no way I am going to spend money on mediocre protection from a signature based product that really cannot brag about the signatures it is updated with, nor the ability to protect in other ways, such as; web shields, malicious link detectors, phishing protection, etc. Suites are consisting of useless fluff more and more. They are bloated blow-hard marketing ploys. Some suites are almost like grayware (esp. RAM/CPU usage issues) unless you tweak them a bit. Personally, I NEVER tolerate factory settings.
