[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 751544, member: 72439"] [USER=51905]Evjl's Rain[/USER], another excellent test. -Norton Safe Web -- what the heck is going on with Norton?! From a top finisher to a bottom finisher. -Malwarebytes continues to impress. -It appears that Sly Guy is right about Forticlient. I guess I need to look at that. -Heimdal Pro's poor finish does not surprise me at all. People who buy Heimdal Pro are just hoping it's a decent product -- as little in the way of testing has been done. Hopes & Prayers -- not a good protection strategy. Heimdal has three components. 1. Web filtering. This test demonstrates how lame it is at that. 2. Software Updating. Using their own numbers, PatchmyPC and SuMO are much better than Heimdal Pro in that regard. 3. Outbound connection blocking. Not sure how to measure that, but many of us already have that covered with other products. There is a reason that Heimdal does not get its product tested by professional test organizations... and it offers regular deep discounts. It's because it's not that good. [/QUOTE]
