Wow I do need to cancel my Consumer Reports subscription. They should stick to things they have a clue about.

To be fair, they are not recommending to the type of people that participate in this forum. Similarly, their automobile ratings are not intended as advice for the Indy 500 drivers.

Very true, but still... Trend ?

So I might get out ahead of things ... should anyone post that they actually like Tend Micro, you'll immediately call them Trendy fanboys .. right?

Indeed.

Not that it matters as I will continue using what works consistently and what the wife and family seem happy with.

I don't run suites anymore on any of my family's or relatives machines, but when I did run and recommend suites, ran Trend, I had very positive things to say about them. It's been 2 years since I used them personally however.

I've seen horror stories with Norton and McAfee, so I haven't recommended them in many, many years.

As another user pointed out, where is NOD32 on the list?
