The issue isn’t only about whether logs are maintained. The issue is whether the anonymity service is able to associated activity on their...
I am pleased to hear that Comodo will participate in the AV-Comparatives tests. As a consequence, the “challenge” by Comodo is pure puffery,...
The “challenge” rings hollow. Why doesn’t Comodo simply pay the fee to participate in the tests run by AV-Comparatives? Comodo doesn’t need...
Couldn’t you setup an email such as NoReply@company.com, and configure your email client to (1) automatically send a message upon receipt of a new...
Second Copy might be an option to consider, since it can encrypt new or updated files on your PC and send the encrypted ZIP versions via FTP to a...
Personally, I would prefer a subscription-based model for Windows. You pay an annual subscription fee and, for that fee, you receive all of the...
The article about the free Norton Power Eraser tool is worth reading. Personally, I run Norton Power Eraser every day or two as another check...

The results would, I suspect, vary widely according to the extent to which users engage in ‘safe computing’ practices (e.g., not opening...
The critical flaw in this approach, in my opinion, is that you have no guarantee that some of the users would not ‘manipulate’ their Internet...
In addition, it would be pointless for Symantec to ‘influence’ the result of a single anti-malware comparative test, because other tests would...
Correct. However, it would be in the vendor’s own best interest not to do so, because the short-term ‘gain’ would be more than offset by the...
Like beauty, the interpretation resides in the eye of the beholder. :)
It appears that I have more faith in the US justice system than yourself. I believe that any illegal activity conducted by the CIA would be...
Do you know of any anonymity service that publically discloses the names of its clients in whole or in part? If all other anonymity services...
Yes, I agree. The AV-Comparatives whole product dynamic test is, in my opinion, the most enlightening test conducted by that organization.
