[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 777510"] I think in general we can get emotional and attached to products we like and have strong opinions on ones we don't like. I'm sure we've all been there, I know I have, but sometimes it's the root of these discussions. If you use a certain product (generally speaking) and you enjoy using it, then all of a sudden some people start saying, oh this product is a piece of crap, of course you may become a little defensive, especially if you paid money for it. We all have different experiences with the various programs available, for example some say WD is light, some say it's heavy, some say Kaspersky is light, some say they still find it heavy, so IMO it's very important to take advantage of the trail periods and test the program for yourself. Does that mean one person is wrong and the other is right? No it just means we have different experiences. Where there is an issue IMO is when people make comments on products that they either have not tried/used, or haven't tried it in like 8 years, as things can change. Every program has their pros and cons. We all just need to find which one works best for us and our needs. Dispite what the various testing organizations and the HUB may say about a product's protection capabilities or its performance all that matters is how it works in the real world. Dispite the fact that we all say to take any test with a grain of salt, deep down we all still look to these tests to make us feel more comfortable in what we are using. Take that and combine that with the fear and paranoia that is generated on security forums in general and you have a recipe for heated arguments and debates. Truth be told all major products, including WD, can do the job fairly well, as long as you practice safe habits, because every product, including a default deny setup can fail if you practice unsafe habits. As to why WD is light for some and not others, it's a mystery for sure. There is an infinite amount of hardware and software configurations out there which can make it hard at times to track a problem for any particular product. Also, I think, atleast when it comes to performance, we all have a different perception on performance. What maybe considered fast to one person, might be considered slow to another. At the end of the day just use what works best for you and your needs. Practice safe computing habits and you should be fine regardless of which program/setup you use. Just remember we all have different experiences with various products and we all just need to respect that. There's no right person or wrong person when it comes to choosing a product, just pick what works best for you. We're all here because we love security and technology and for me anyways, I just like talking and learning from people all over the world :) [/QUOTE]
