[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1032652, member: 31436"] It's not a maybe, Netgate's products really are garbage. I can guarantee that they would fail miserably if tested. If there were any good, they would not be essentially unknown products. It's very rare for a little known security product to be any good, unless it's a brand new product that hasn't received much attention yet. Of the other products you listed, none are particularly good. Spybot - Search & Destroy was an excellent product many years ago. But that's no longer the case and that's why it almost never gets mentioned at all on security forums. SUPERAntiSpyware was also once an excellent product, but these days does a terrible job at detecting malware and is really only good for detecting tracking cookies. There is a version of it which includes Avira signatures, but you'd be much better protected by using Avira itself. [/QUOTE]
