[QUOTE="danb, post: 870107, member: 62850"] I totally agree (and actually I agree with pretty much every post on this thread). I talk to security people every day and almost none of them are aware of all of the great products that are discussed on the various security forums. They are typically only aware of the "top 10" or so products. Then when I talk to non security people, especially novice and average users, they have only heard of Norton and McAfee. On a side note, Windows Defender has come a very long way the last 3-4 years and it certainly is amazing protection. But I strongly believe that it is important to have at least one extra layer of robust protection, simply because malcoders focus on bypassing Windows Defender and its protections because it is the common denominator. Also, I agree with [USER=82514]@Fuzzy_Bunny[/USER] that the majority of attacks will be blocks with a good url filter. On another side note, there are tons of SMB and enterprise customers who HAVE to install robust protections on their endpoints, either because they are required to do so because of regulations, or because they are concerned that if they are infected they might lose their business, and they do not mind paying for an additional layer of security.
