Webroot vs Malware | Test (By TPSC)

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.
@ 8:02, he says he doesn't know how Webroot works. Good move, the best defense is a good offense.

Well, I do not agree with whitelisting the testing script. Webroot, at the beginning of the video, terminated the script and that's nice. BD did the same in an earlier TPCS test. What do you think?

I appreciate his testing, but he says this about many of the suites he tests. It makes fun a fun thing to listen to while I work.@ 8:02, he says he doesn't know how Webroot works. Good move, the best defense is a good offense.

I think webroot has lost its magic somewhere along the path. Light on resources is good but come on we now have 4c/ 8t, 6c/ 12t, 8 /16, 16/32....32/64... processing Power and most have 16Gb ram if not 32...my point is they are concentrating on the wrong thing... sacrificing the most important thing " prevention and protection" .

I was not defending Webroot or the way it works. What irritates me in his videos is that his tests are not consistent; he adapts his tests to make fun of suite or prove, in his own way, that it is bad. Regarding Webroot, I do agree wholeheartedly that they need to work on their protection but honestly their webfilter is decent. I would pair it with SecureAPlus and you have light but strong protection. You can get Webroot license for $2 on G2A.

I don't think an script to automatize malware execution is the best praxis when testing AV products but it saves lots of time clicking into every single sample.

I too agree on that, he might have some vested agendas. I prefer to see our forum member's testing videos/reports on various security suites as it represents truth and not some vested agendas.

He takes the machine gun approach to execution and then complains when the AV is slow to process threats or his whole system crashes. See my above post ^.

I really like MH here but I do have one thing to point out. I do appreciate what @harlan4096 , @SeriousHoax @omidomi and other do at the hub but unfortunately, and maybe due to busy life, products are not tested at the same time frame. You see products tested after hours and some times a day or two later. This makes hub's tests inconsistent.

I'm sure if we paid them properly for their work we might be able to work something out that is more consistent. For now it's more for fun and curiosity.

It's difficult all the testers post their results at the same time, different time regions, different free time to test, etc...

Webroot has web protection, Panda Free doesn't has it and I haven't tried their paid products in the last years so I can't tell you.

probably, but that doesn't make Panda any good.

I had panda dome free for a few days a couple of weeks ago and sooo many false positives! So it went bye bye!

Looks like they went with the Q360TS approach in its earlier days, everything I'm not sure about is flagged as generic malware
