[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 806297"] Very good points! (y) Tests in general are very difficult to represent what really going on in the real world. Like you said, many of these tests ignore things like web protection that may or may not have stopped it, but it's still one piece of the whole concept. IMHO tests in general should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm not saying to ignore them completely, but to simply realize that they often don't represent what happening in the real world. Despite what may of these tests say, overall the vast majority of products offer very good protection, including WD. At this point we are really just splitting hairs, and IMHO trying to decide which product to use based on these tests and tests in general is not a good idea. You will constantly be chasing perfection when it's not there. As I always say, there are many other reasons to choose a product (performance, UI, settings, privacy, etc...). There's no such thing as a perfect product and everyone just needs to use the trial periods and try them for themselves in order to come to the conclusion on which one they like the most.(y) [/QUOTE]
