I was suprised to see Norton failed this proactive test from Matousec, it had a poor score, it only blockd 40% of risks, can anyone explain these results?

I personally don't agree with the results because I am a big fan of Norton products, I just wanted to know why they gave it such a low result because all the other tests from different labs were very good

There was no need to include Microsoft score in your reply because I aint concerned about them because I'm not using their product at this moment, I want to concentrate on the program that I am using which is Norton Intenet Security 2010

 

Do work you for Norton then?

 

Could I see this test were Norton got 99%, I think I would be interesting to see

 

Thanks for your fast reply :)

The Matousec lab test results are not very reliable because of his testing methods according to this author in this link, the author makes a very good point. Do not trust the reviews from this site!, I personally think that Matousec has a dislike for Norton.

Slam,

 

I've asked a moderator to join your message onto the other thread you started on the same topic -- it's better for all to keep things grouped.

 

Thanks for raising the topic of the validity of tests. Like Statistics -- Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics .... ?

I mentioned Microsoft because I consider their product to be very good and have recommended the use of the scanner as an alternative to Malwarebytes in these forums.

 

I do not work for Norton.

 

No, I clearly dont need to sell you on Norton. lol

 

 

Your welcome.

i personally do not bother about the test conducted except theav-comparatives, so least bothered... Norton was best and is best among all others..........

i agree with you, I can only trust av comparatives, they use a larger number of malware samples making the test more realistic
