"Best security suites.... at the other end of the spectrum, comodo"

[krensauce]

Yes, Neil J. Rubenking is known to have a love story with Norton and their broken software.
He’s not able to test a security suite other than trying a single browser toolbar as virus, and doesn’t has the required knowledge to search the internet for malware/virus tests made by people that actually know what they are doing.

Since the advent of online reviewers websites I noticed how reviews quality went down the toilet. Just read any review in any commercial gaming review website (gamespot and so on) and you’ll understand how bad the situation is.

Internet made it easy for people with no brain or culture to voice their opinion and make it look like it’s believable.

Test it yourself instead of saying something wrong …
CRDF Threat Center: Homepage / List of malicious URLs detected by CRDF Labs
Btw, today CAV is better than Panda, Symantec … Take Symantec for example : Their AV is not performant isn’t it ? Look at the tests on live malware from the internet it oftens block everything thanks to cloud tech i.e Norton Insight and ProActive (SONAR).

is comodo using their database to strengthen comodo’s av also do you know if they enable cloud scanning when testing cis

No they don’t.

[jebuchanan]

Comodo uses only Comodo. They do not use someone else’s AV engines nor databases.

[trscsaeg]

anyone know if they enable cloud scanning for this test

No parental control, antispam, antiphishing, or privacy protection.

Heavens forbid that CIS ever incorporates those, and if it does they need to be optional. What I like about CIS is that it does what it says on the tin, nothing less, nothing more.

Privacy protection is the realm of the browser although there are plenty of programs available if browser plugin protection does not satisfy you. Personally, I use Mailwasher Pro for antispam and anti-phishing which eliminates rubbish on my ISP’s server BEFORE downloading anything. The last thing I want is a solution that deals with it once I have downloaded the source of the evil. I say keep antispam off CIS, please!

It appears from their review that they held the number of features to be much more important than the protection offered.

By the way, how did CIS not get a full score for Virus Blocking? Should that have been instead named virus detection? ???

(By the way, isn’t it nice to hear that McAfee is one of the best security suites out there :D)

They might not have counted sandboxing an object a block.

[jebuchanan]

These places really don’t test “suites” as they should be tested. Any suite.
This has the overall effect of making any result subjective at best, never to be taken without a grain of salt.

[clockwork]

We all are testing these programs.
And our habits.
On a daily basis.

My personal test results are 100% so far

[jebuchanan]

Personal use, we test every day, and are quite happy with the results. But you know your software and how it is configured for your needs.

Testing organizations need to be able to configure multiple suites to [provide] comparable protection in each for the results to be meaningful. With today’s software suites, that can be very difficult at times. Not all suites offer the same or similar levels of protection. Thus, results can be meaningless when doing comparisons. (what does this mean with respect to this setting, or what results change if this setting were changed, how does 4 levels of protection differ from say 6) .
See what I am getting at?
Subjective.
