PCMag Review of Avira Premium Security Suite 8

Totally agree - At the same time, that doesn't mean he's wrong either. If ShadowServer, AV-Comparatives, CNET reviews, etc all start coming back saying the same thing then he might be right. Its only one test, and until other independent testers come back refuting or agreeing with this review on the new product, it doesn't mean much on its own. And without those other tests, there's no proof he's wrong (again) until there are some.

Its the same as seeing a test with Microsoft OneCare with a good result - I'd want to see more results and a consensus before saying its top-tier (and I own a copy of OneCare before anyone thinks I'm bashing them ).

EDIT: I'd be pissed too if someone with a history of "getting it wrong" beat up on a tool I used; There's plenty of reason to doubt, but it doesn't mean its technically wrong yet either. Even a broken clock is right twice a day

 

So thats one less reason that the Norton trolls have to complain about. Go Norton.
