[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 767175, member: 7463"] Leaving aside the sarcasm of my previous post in this thread, what troubled me about the Poll results (and remember that the poll was well crafted enough so that multiple choices could be made) was that the System Impact choice doubled that of efficacy in malware detection. One would hope that effectiveness would alsways be at LEAST number 1, but sadly it was not. This pretty much mirrors the comments on that other Forum where the "Lightness" of a product seems to outweigh whether or not the product works (always makes me sigh...). Now we do have an essential response here: On what exactly is this assumption based? Far too frequently are decisions made by "lightness", GUI colors, or whether the cute Panda still exists in the Taskbar (although the latter may have been only me...). I personally would hope to see a reason specified for effectiveness, then other considerations added. [/QUOTE]
