[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1078408, member: 92939"] Good evening, Before I start, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Shadowra, the tester who evaluated Webroot. I've read your comments carefully, but unfortunately I need to clarify a few points: 1) I very rarely change the settings of the antivirus programs I test. In fact, I start from the premise that I'm putting myself in the shoes of a novice user. Most novices don't bother, they just install a security solution and want it to work! That's exactly what Webroot offers, and it's great. 2) During the test, there are 3 phases: URL testing, where I select the most recent malware sites, an EXE SFX which is a fake crack that will install different malware (the danger of cracks) and a malware pack with a mix of 0-day and old malware from 4 sources I use. I spend about 1 hour making this pack, as the samples are checked and tested (I may let a few false positives through, but it's quite rare...). Honestly, I can understand that you've had good results with Webroot with your settings, but that's not what I do. On the other hand, if you'd like another video with YOUR settings, let me know and I'll do it as soon as possible. Best regards :) [/QUOTE]
