[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 924509, member: 19756"] In terms of protection, tests are very helpful given the costs of security programs. For performance, YMMV. One quick test involves using benchmark software after installing a program. The catch is that one will have to make sure that the program is uninstalled correctly after testing, which may mean using any uninstallers or cleaners provided by the company. Finally, one reason for switching is that the performance sometimes goes down due to changes in the operating system and/or the security program. [/QUOTE]
