Pretty much. Most, including advanced users, do not have the technical knowledge to fully understand methodology of testing security suites. One's...
I'd like to commend the author(s) of the report for attempting a layman's explanation about statistical testing. Too often in other tests (in...
Of course. One which Symantec will contently ignore - without addressing the points in my post, this kind of advertising will have limited impact.
Here are my thoughts on the challenge, which I have posted in the Comodo forums: Melih: "all are glorified "detection' methods.. so the...
The challenge is largely irrelevant. 5 years down the line, Symantec will still be one of the biggest security companies with one of the biggest...
Good luck to Comodo! They seem to forget how many end users deploy their product and what type of users use their product :D Bet quite a few guys...
Is your daughter a regular teenage computer user? If so, don't bother with limited account - it'll drive her nuts. In fact any security program...
I'm not sure what guest wants... Either way, he can PM a moderator, who I'm sure will give his thoughts due consideration.
Traditionally, Norton, Kaspersky etc, started out as pure antivirus. Comodo started off as a firewall, but quickly switched to HIPS as it's main...
And perhaps complete methodology, inluding on the tests you have been carrying out in recent days? If you claim to be a serious testing...
I'm quite happy to continue by PM, for the sake of the thread. Let's get back to discussing the results of the 2011 test, where products such as...
Pretty much.
And yet you still haven't asked me for the samples... Well this is just hilarious - you came to make claims that if we test a product against 10...
Well, that's because I'm not the one who is disputing the conclusion of tests linked here -you are. So the burden of proof is on your side, not...
My point was not that the methodology used was good (which it clearly isn't, an independent test would have been far superior, and this definitely...
Sorry, did I miss your reply?! I only saw some mistaken post about the nature of zero day samples, not a reply to any of the questions asked...
@guest So let me understand this correctly, you want to avoid my questions asking you to present some evidence, and not just anecdotes? And you...
Care to respond to my questions, if you have the time?
Definitely. These kinds of reports should be taken with caution, in a wider context of other, more independent reports.
So what if the test was sponsored, and Symantec gave scripts? It's results correlate with av-comparatives' performance tests, and a number of...
Even if he does test against MDL, he'll find his conclusion at odds with his statements for any significantly sized sample.
Please see my quote in the other thread: "I can take 10 zero day malware samples and easily see how NIS2011 blocked them all. And then I can take...
Beg to differ, I can take 10 zero day malware samples and easily see how NIS2011 blocked them all. And then I can take another 10. And another 10....
Exactly - when they improve a product so much, who can blame them for marketing it. Surely this is an obvious point the OP understands?
Better than no tests - and they got third parties to test, rather than testing themselves.
