[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 856746, member: 31436"] You are missing the point. Any antivirus which is scoring close to 100% is doing very well in the tests. If ESET was last in some tests, it just means that every antivirus tested did very well. With Webroot, I was referring to actual bad results and once again scoring very close to the highest scoring antiviruses is not a bad result. Once again, I was referring to actual bad results and once again you are missing the point. There's only one antivirus vendor I can think of which has said that test results don't matter and that's Webroot. ESET have certainly never said that. Unlike Webroot, other big name vendors usually do participate in testing. Webroot generally refuse to do so, because they know it will most likely score badly. I mean actually scoring badly, not getting 98% of so, but much less. You know, an actual bad result. Rather than working to improve their product, so it does better at detecting malware, they just claim that tests don't matter. Sadly, quite a few users just blindly believe that, rather than wanting Webroot to actually improve their product. Webroot "works" for them, so therefore it doesn't need to improve and anyone who says otherwise is a hater. For the record, I have never used ESET as my main antivirus other than using trial versions a few times over the years and probably never will. [/QUOTE]
