[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1032111"] This is a wrong consumer perception and expectation. It is wrong on so many levels. This is not surprising though as consumers, as a group, want somebody else to make the choices for them. Consumers do not know enough about the technical side of security so they are dependent upon others making their choices on their behalf. An insurance company knows next to nothing about the quality and effectiveness of security software. The security software publishers use the same marketing materials as used with consumers to convince the insurance companies to promote their software. It is the same when a bank offers security software to its customers. Some of the customers think the bank offers that particular software because it has done in-depth evaluation of the product. That is never the case. The bank chose the software based upon marketing and promotion efforts from the software publisher. A consumer is much better off selecting a default allow solution by reviewing AV lab test results over time. Most consumer home insurance policies do not include cybercrime and identity loss coverage. Some insurance companies offer "add-ons" which the consumer must pay for. [/QUOTE]
