I am sure you know which one I mean.

You could edit the link or choose to ignore it. I may take your advice though, for then next links I am to post. Thanks for the suggestion. >http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/removal-tests >(and there you can see that the report is over two months old.) It is their most recent 'Comparatives Malware Removal Test'. So, what is *your* point? >And please be more specific than "I am sure you know what I mean". >No, I do not know and I do not like this kind of guessing game. > :-( The report clearly states not to reproduce any of the information. I did not :( >So, what is your point? I think that was clear.

I have only just read it myself today. I can see no references to the report in the group at an earlier date and thought it was relevant, especially as some people are of the belief that the newer software has no merit. See further below. >>The report clearly states not to reproduce any of the information. I did >>not :( > >What a weird excuse. >("the report states am I not allowed to tell why I want to bring up the >report".) Indeed, I know, but I was not sure what to write from a legal perspective. I am still not sure so cannot comment much further still. Not mentioned in these words in the report, is the fact that, fairly new free Anti-Malware software, has beaten the majority of the long-term established paid-for applications in some tests. I believe this is especially relevant as the new application has been described as "pretending to work" by a poster in the group and there has been much discussion as to the worth of the new application. To me this and other reports more than confirms that this new application does indeed have merit and is a very viable alternative to the more popular products. I would encourage others to visit the site and read the report and draw their own conclusions. I will contact the AV_Comparatives and ask for clarification of how much more of the report can be discussed here.

Thanks. Interesting reading. The overall winner comes as a bit of a surprise (to me).
