Security Shootout: 10 Top Antivirus Apps Put to the Test

avast! being the slowest of all. What a load of bollocks. avast! 5 is not slow at all. Not even the first time scan and especially not any consequent scan.
Also basing conclusions based on EICAR and Spycar alone is just lame.
Other reviews don't seem to be much better either...

 

The review is yet to be started. May be this just what they noticed...May be "first-glimpse" report

Yeah i found that very surprising, hardly a severe test

Wonder where you learn't that interesting English phrase

 

Well, am I blind or what? Are these two pathetic tables all the "beef" the "shootout" has to provide? Where are some actual testing results for the products? Like, samples detected/missed/FPs/whatever. And Eicar? Gotta be joking.

 

CloneRanger, i can also use ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ if you prefer
Bollocks and rubbish are 2 words that i like the most from the british english. Otherwise it's kinda rubbish.

 

I smell money.....
Agree with RejZoR.

This test: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/securityadvisor/news/index.cfm?newsid=3220357&sa&pn=3 shows the exact opposite for Avast and some other products......

 

Pff, what an incredibly easy way to make money.
You simply download 10 trial versions of security suites, have them do a full scan and a quick scan.
Copy/paste their respective features and then the real-world grand finale; download some Eicar files (oooh, look at that excellent pro-active detection!), check RAM usage and boot-time and that's it?

I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight, knowing how easy it is for some to 'earn' their salary...

 

Haha! They actually have mixed the test with some vendors' AVs compared to others' Internet Security suites.
