[QUOTE="struppigel, post: 883589, member: 86910"] Those people might not care about the results directly, but they are still influenced by the people who do. A lot of those testing lab results appear in well-known security and computer magazines. They say it's their own test, but essentially they pay AV Test and similar to do the testing for them. Now, the people who read those magazines will not only decide based on the magazine's results, they will also influence the people around them who are not tech-savvy and rely on them. We see a very significant correlation of good test lab results and more purchased licenses. [/QUOTE]
