[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 780443"] I agree wholeheartedly. I can for the most part say the same for the majority of security suites out there (Norton, F-secure, Kaspersky, etc...) as well. The problem IMHO is that everytime there's a test, people make the passing mark 99-100% and that if it's less than that, it's a piece of crap. Eset failed this test, but it's just one test, but people write it off like it's garbage. Every single product will fail, no product is perfect 100% of the time. Just because a product may fail a test, or let in even 1 piece of malware, doesn't mean it can't do it's job when looking at the bigger picture (ie: the real-world). These test do not represnt the real-world, nor do they represent how people use their computers. It's fine and dandy to test products, I'm all for testing, but if all you are looking for is a product that is 100% all the time, you will never find it. It's always imperative to use any product with safe practices. I can look at any product and find a test where it failed, but it doesn't mean it's a piece of crap. At the end of the day every program has their pros and cons, no product is perfect and it's imperative that people just find a product that suites their needs and not stress over every little test.
