Tinman57:
I know I saw another topic on this discussion but couldn't find it. Probably buried in the archives. It don't matter anyhow since this changes like every 6 months or so. With that being said, let the fights discussions begin....

Maybe it's just me but where's the link on that site that lists every AV product they tested?
Or did they only test nine of them?
Joe Hone:
My first thought always, and recently confirmed by the CNET abuse of editorial discretion, is can the rankings be trusted? Because I can websearch and find half a dozen other sites with recent reviews, different rankings, and some of the suites listed here won't be listed there and vice versa. Better to be a skeptic and hang out a sites like DC where you get recommendations from real users of real products. Having said that, I use AVG free and when I'm tooling around on Chrome I use a program like Webutation to warn me of risky sites. Haven't had any attacks since using this system.

Of course not - follow the money trail.

Their recent list of departures suggests that CNET has some integrity, but not enough to fend of CBS.
