[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 822324"] That's totally fair in my books and very understandable:)(y) Again, my post was never directed at you or what you are doing by any means, but rather the mentality that people have when it comes to test results of products (as a whole) and their unrealistic expectations of them. For me, I've always been an advocate of educating users on proper security habits 1st and then talk about security programs, but more often than not it's the other way around. They way I see it, if someone is concerned for average users who aren't techies/security geeks, than either lock down their system if the rely of Windows, or better yet, if they don't need Windows, switch them to Chrome OS, or another Linux variant. An example I just though of very recently is, if someone is constantly getting into car accidents because they go through stop signs/red lights and then they have someone that tells them, to avoid getting into a accident, they need buy a faster car. Instead of changing their driving habits and practicing good safe driving skills, they buy the faster car. So, they still practice unsafe driving, maybe getting into slightly less car accidents, but chances are they will still get into a car accident as the "faster car" won't prevent accidents every time.;) [/QUOTE]
