alsiladka Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Got this from another forum . Top ten Antivirus Softwares by PC World. Top Ten Antivirus BitDefender notches the top spot!!!!Norton takes the fifth Strange
Tarun Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Don't fall for that crap. The anti-virus companies pay the magazine companies to give their product a higher ranking.
No6 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 cant belive nod32 aint in list, oh well Not to sound cynical or anything, but when it comes to reviews and rankings one must take everything with a grain of salt. Make that a few grains of salt, considering the contributions and gifts that exchange hands. The only thing I respect when it comes to that, is other users' opinions.That's with any industry by the way. Even if the review is free of manipulation, one must consider the test conditions. All a review can claim, is that under *these* particular conditions, brand A scored this, and brand B scored that. More conditions and the test becomes even more dependent on those conditions. I went through all this BS when I was researching laptops a few weeks ago. More than half the time, consumer comments were at odds with reviews.The bottom line is, real-life opinions and comments are far more valuable than "official" product reviews. For me, anyway.
Shark007 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 The bottom line is, real-life opinions and comments are far more valuable than "official" product reviews. For me, anyway.My sentiments exactly.shark
ripken204 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Don't fall for that crap. The anti-virus companies pay the magazine companies to give their product a higher ranking.its true, they do the fact it that nod32 and avast are in the top 3 and we know that. and the fact that norton is even considered top 10 is bull.
alsiladka Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 neowin forumYup , I never take credit when i am not the one to be te first one to notice it. Saw it there and thougth of sharing it over here.
suryad Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Man this review is so bogus. First off it is pcworld...and they are as commercial as it gets...and then theres no NOD in the list so you know that this is bogus stuff.
LLXX Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Where is F-Prot (the one I use)? And what's Norton doing up there?The reviews themselves are actually self-contradictory, if you inspect them carefully. One of them says that everything was excellent but then gives it a low ranking.Definitely not a reliable source...
VAN_XP Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Don't fall for that crap. The anti-virus companies pay the magazine companies to give their product a higher ranking.i agree with you 100% .. many of companies pay to the magazine to move the ranking.. so do not believe
