| 858186 | 2010-02-14 03:02:00 | I have nod32 installed on two computers and I thought it was the best available. The February issue of NZ PC World has a review of Antivirus programs and it doesn't even rate in the top five programs. It is all very confusing!! |

| 858187 | 2010-02-14 03:32:00 | Just take reviews with a grain of salt. Or even the whole shaker full. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 858188 | 2010-02-14 03:35:00 | Let me guess, norton was no 1? | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 858189 | 2010-02-14 03:41:00 | Lab Reviews :lol: In the the Feb issue of PCWorld the "best was gdata" ;) Take a look at This thread I started (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) some comparison results, ( including the so called #1 ) and Nod32. Post 42 onwards -post 62 is the so called "best" - then jump to 74 |

| 858190 | 2010-02-14 03:44:00 | Yet another reason I no longer buy NZ PC World. You would at least think that "they" would read PF1 to get an inkling of what happens in the real world. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 858192 | 2010-02-14 03:57:00 | Trouble is NZ PCworld doesn't do the tests, they get articles from other places, may change a few words about and put it in NZ PCworld. ( same as other Mags) Example: A article in November 2009 (www.networkworld.com) - Now the Article in PCworld November 09 (www.pcworld.com) - then have a look at the article in the February 2010 NZ PCworld Mag ;) |

I got the impression that they did the tests themselves. |

| 858194 | 2010-02-14 04:58:00 | On the original article and in the NZ PCworld its by; Erik Larkin, PC World; testing by Andreas Marx. So NZ PCworld may be related to the original PCWorld, but its not done in good ol NZ. I've seen a few other articles on various subjects in other Aust Mags, then its basically repeated a few months later in the NZ Mag. Heres what I mean by changing a few words - from PCworld site While F-Secure Anti-Virus 2010 ($40 for a one-year, 3-PC license, as of 11/19/09) is simple to use and does a reasonable job of blocking malware, it has a few bugs, and it couldn't beat some of its competitors. It came in at number six in our current roundup of stand-alone antivirus apps. yet in the NZPCworld mag page 46 it says " While F-Secure Antivirus 2010(AU$112 for a one-year, 3-PC license;f-secure.com) is simple to use and does -------- Just the way the mag trade does its business I spose. |

| 858195 | 2010-02-14 07:03:00 | Yes, I guess so. You are certainly on the ball wainuitech. I guess I will just have to have another think about renewing nod32 at the end of the year. No doubt something else will pop up purporting to be the best antivirus program. Cheers. |
