Re: My Anti-virus Program Comparison Analysis In fact if you ask for my personal opinion, I may not choose McAfee as a matter of fact.
It is because I know there are some incompatibility issues (with some users) and can be difficult to make it work. It has good AV capabilities. But stability counts too. I am going to see if it is still true in its latest version. But I won't include this as a comment in my first post because I could like to keep it as objective as possible, so I won't add any other comments if they are not found from reliable sources.
Again, as I emphasise a lot, the best AV capabilties is not the byword for the best AV!!
I think I understand well about their AV capabilities (thanks to the reports created by many good guys, organizaiotns, and universities!). And I hope you will find my table useful or reliable. I realise it may be hard to accept but it is solidly true unfortunately.
I have to admit the reports are not created up to date. Most of the detailed reports are 1-2 years ago. However it is easy ot understand why. It's because a good and comprehensive anti-virus report needs a lot of time to produce. It is never impossible to finish a report within a month unless you wish to read some unrepresentative, or unreliable reviews which magazines usually make.
But we don't really need to worry too much about this limitation. I think a good program will keep being good normally even after 1 year. If you haven't heard of any (major) bad news from the AV porgram within the year, it is quite safe to assume the program is still good.
It's time for me to evaluate more on AV's other aspects, and see which suits me best. |
