i like the "30% editor", huge ratio ! seems that Norton paid $oftonic well , it help to beat ESET that has better rating in security and performance...

I prefer norton. Light & effective. Don't know much about the other stuffs but Bitdefender..... this thing is a pain in the.... you know. Heard quite a lot of good stuffs about Bitdefender. And i was like.... yeaaaaaahhhhhh.... I gotta try this. I was so damn excited when I got the full license from here. But the moment I installed it, I was like, nooooooooooooo..... where's the uninstall button.

its just like any other comparison data, just use as A reference and then try the product yourself.
my opinion is that lets for a few seconds pretend these websites put out the real results which where not effected or modified in anyway, its still THEIR TESTS!
no group can REALLY simulate the full real-world environment where regular home users install anything their colleges or friend recommend and send them. and no group has ALL the malwares that are active in the internet so no test is actually real! but still its a reference!

i guerss they did their test in 5mn,

I dont care who is better or not, i just analyzed their results , and i observe that they are highly subjective, based on their own view and appreciation despite referencelike security or performance; i dont care what the editor think of a product; i just want results based on the software behavior.

Mr Softonic give high rate to Norton because he like the skin or design? come on.... who cares

%30 editor choice means "Payment for the good results" Can you got it ?
Why they do not test the paid Bitdefender instead of Bitdefender Free that is tha buggy one :p Softonic sucks..
and then if you love test the free ones where is Comodo ?

and What they want to say about "Security" ? is it detection ? Protection ? Cleaning ? What is it ?
i guerss they did their test in 5mn,

Completely agreed..

These ratings are so breathtakingly foolish I'm at a loss for words.
