AFAIK there is some cost involved for a product participating in the tests, so it might just be that the decision makers at Sunbelt Software felt that this isn't the best way of spending the money...<br /><br />I too am looking forward for an independent and meaningful testing of the product (VB and CheckMark don't count here, sorry).Cd-MaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030326541176171725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35005627.post-37530553157106974752009-12-12T10:21:39.472+02:002009-12-12T10:21:39.472+02:00Thanks for your straight forward review.

Last year I had to disinfect a computer for a friend and ran every scan I could find when finally I stumbled across Sunbelt's Counterspy and ran the scan under the fully functional trial. It found the infection and cleaned it! I was so impressed I never forgot what it had done for me.<br />Three weeks ago my son managed to really infect his pc (rootkit) while "protected" by AVG Free and Spybot. I ran full scan of everything including Malwarebytes antimalware, AVG, A squared free, Spybot, Superantispyware, GMER, Combofix, SDFix, Vipre etc. They all found something and cleaned the infections out successfully but still his pc was infected with something. I managed to find and clean it out manually but the bottom line is that Vipre, as a full suite, would have stopped the infection as it has done since I bought a home site license (up to 10 pcs), it is by far the lightest, easiest to use and best value for an all in one! I came close to getting the highly rated Zonealarm suite but Vipre is still better value for what I believe is equal protection. Also worth mentioning is that Vipre's firewall is an option purchase, for those with Vista or Windows 7 it saves having to buy that too.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812498984742131706noreply@blogger.com
