1183587	2011-03-07 05:54:00	I'm always up for a test. :banana ZARA - in post # 29 the question was asked I'm game to prove a point. In post #43 Chill Suggested ( prob in geest) :D I posted a screen shot of a site that Nod32 stopped dead in its tracks #46 The screen shot Nod working (www.imagef1.net.nz) -- So I thought, what the hell, why not. On a workshop Computer installed Norton 2011 the one thats "the best" in the PCWorld latest review, updated it, please note arrows on the following screen shot AND the actual address in the browser - then went to that web site and Damn near pissed myself laughing (www.imagef1.net.nz) -- So theres the proof as requested = Norton total crap- didn't even bat an eyelid. Shouldn't need AV to pick that site up, both Chrome and Safari alerted me when trying to navigate to it. And thats with no AV installed	plod (107)
1183588	2011-03-07 05:59:00	The problem with labs appears to be that they consistently offer up "results" lauding (reputed) AV software that regularly fails every test except marketing in the real world. Dammit, the world's out of step. :( As soon as I meet someone I really detest, I'll give them a copy of Nortons.	R2x1 (4628)
1183589	2011-03-07 06:08:00	Funny I went to manually update flash player on one of my spare XP machines and MSSE picked up a trojan in the download. It was Firefox that said did I want to update Flash player, so I said yes and let it connect to the Adobe site. So I scanned with malwarebytes as well after the download and it came back clean so MSSE has it seems got rid of it	gary67 (56)

And thats with no AV installed Yeah - I was using a straight install of W7, even though has Opera, my workshop Images still have IE is the default - Maybe IE9 will detect better. Interesting though only some AV's are picking that site as bad.	wainuitech (129)
1183592	2011-03-08 05:35:00	Have the rest of you noticed that techs in large businesses tend to sing the praises of Symantec products & recommend them to all & sundry even though they have no experience with infected PCs because their systems are locked down too tight to catch anything?	Greven (91)

Probably not if the business was Waikato Health Board.......:banana www.waikatodhb.govt.nz computerworld.co.nz I wonder who their AV vendors were, and what they are using now ?	Terry Porritt (14)

OOPS! From the article: “Health’s problems were caused by its inability to do even the simplest and most essential of these... using a supported operating system and keeping it patched. I think that an organisation handling some of the most sensitive private information in NZ should have higher standards.” Old-fashioned gateway security is no longer enough to manage the myriad threats and attacks now in the wild, our correspondent said. It has been made obsolete and replaced by a model where every device protects itself, no matter where it is or what it is connected to. She'll be right Mate :thumbs: No worries :D	wainuitech (129)
