[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 814655, member: 72439"] Look up the final SAS tests from many years ago. While many products were getting 95%+ detection, SAS was in the 50's. Yes, it was really detecting about half of what everybody else was. It got a "Dismal" rating in a PC magazine. And then... it stopped being tested. There are MANY security products that never get tested. And often, and certainly in the case of SAS, it's because they are not worth the time to test. A truism in online security products is that the best ones make sure they get tested -- as that is the very best "proof" and/or advertising they can get. Good test results. Products that test poorly make excuses and avoid testing. And that's just the way it is.. SAS is garbage. I would not let my dog run SAS on her computer. But.... everybody should run what they believe gives them the best security for the money that they choose to spend -- even if that is just free products. [/QUOTE]
