| 750622 | 2009-02-23 19:24:00 | What did you make of the security suite review in this month's issue? Norton & McAfee in the top 3, Kaspersky near the bottom, and NOD32 conspicuously absent, even though they regularly advertise it on the back cover?? Still can't reconcile how 'real world' usage of Norton & McAfee is so much more unpleasant that lab testing, where magazines seem to love them??? I say we get Rodney Hide to do a commission of enquiry, and make sure no kick-backs are occurring!! :rolleyes: |

It's my suspicion that the likes of McAfee and Norton actually write their applications to pass the lab tests so they get a good review and make sales that way (as well as paying PC manufacturers to bundle their inferior software in their build images), rather than designing their product to work well on any PC, any spec, in the real world... |

| 750625 | 2009-02-23 22:28:00 | Hmmm, in other words, the screenshot shows that the system is using 70% of the CPU resources while Norton uses an additional 65%? :lol:!!! | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 750626 | 2009-02-23 22:38:00 | Nortons new feature....Auto OVERCLOCK!!!:lol: | Blam (54) | ||
| 750627 | 2009-02-24 01:47:00 | What did you make of the security suite review in this month's issue? Norton & McAfee in the top 3, Kaspersky near the bottom, and NOD32 conspicuously absent, even though they regularly advertise it on the back cover?? From memory here...... The latest PCauthority mag (Aus) tested a few security suites, with the emphasis on malware rather than viruses. Kaspersky Norton & NOD32 didnt do very well with malware/spyware detection/removal, sort of born out from my experiences (I'd personally still rate Kav excellent for virus detection) McAfee did rate very highly, I'd say its a good month for them, I doubt they can keep it up. I dont know why these AV companies cant just build good spyware/malware detection into their basic AV only products(now gradually changing). Some AV only products will hardly detect spyware/malware, requiring that companies separate product for this. |
