Re: Consumer Reports - SEPTEMBER 2007 - Best security software
I agree with you, I just tried Micro Trend and it sucks. It dosen't even download properly and I have had so many problems with it |

| Well, I took the CR challenge and D/L the latest TM suite, placed it on one of my computers and it is very good! Not to say that CR is the guru in all opinions, but it seems to work well on my system - so well I plan on trying it on all 3 of my systems!
we'll see what happens, I'll keep ya'll posted.
As a side note, Norton brings my computer to a HALT, as did Panda, as did the latest ZA. Had a few "getby's" from Avast so we'll see how TM compares.
I do like Comodo which I have on one of mine, but it really has let me down twice.
Later, an honest update from one who surfs on the edge and takes the risks others stay away from! |

Re: Consumer Reports - SEPTEMBER 2007 - Best security software
Well, I did the test, placed TM on a couple of computers and must say it works and it doesn't...
On my 4 year old home made puter, it works just fine, no slowdowns at all and is actually quite fast with scans - even found something.
On my store bought cheapo 2 year old E-Machine, it was horrible! Slowed the entire system down, scanned at an unbelievable slow speed...just plain was horrible!
Keeping it on the home made but took it off asap on the E-machine. Placed Comodo and Avast back on the el-cheapo and all appears fine.
Till something tickles my fancy, i'll keep things the way they are for now....
Just my 2 cents! |

Re: C*nsum3r Rep*rts - SEPTEMBER 2007 - Best security software
I think Consumer Reports should try using ...
1. Avast Home or Pro
2. Comodo Firewall - I just started using this...
3. Comodo BoClean...
I bet Trend Micro against the above will not be as good, or at least equal...
What gets my goat is that in some AV tests I saw, Avast and even AVG beat Trend Micro!
