  1. Comment - MS to McAfee: Stop Lying to the Public

    (Oct 21, 2006 - 5:35 PM)

    Until recently, I would have agreed that TrendMicro was a good alternative to Symantec and McAfee, but testing proved they're no better. All three are guilty of arbitrarily interfering with internet access, without alerting the user to that fact.

    Only ZoneAlarm's Suite passed the test, but even there, armed with a good AV program and XP's own firewall, Steve Gibson's ShieldsUp was unable to decipher the difference.

    And, just because I wanted the opportunity to say so: Symantec and McAfee are stellar examples of consumer fraud.
