If you needed an example of why you shouldn't trust computer reviews, I stumbled on this gem in Australian IT this morning.
The reason it raises my ire is that I was at client's site last night where a spyware scan came up with ten separate spyware infections, including oldies like Cool Web Search and 180 Search Assistant.
That client was running an up to date, fully patched Trend Micro 2007 security suite.
Roland Tellzen, the AustralianIT writer, gives a computer security suite that doesn't detect the most common spyware a 75% mark because;
"Installation is clean and straightforward. It took less than 10 minutes to install and activate, and the user customisation screens are well-designed and user-friendly."
All fair reasons, except the thing doesn't do what it's supposed to.
I guess it's no surprise we learn today that Trend Micro is suing ClamAV for alleged patent infringement, it's so much easier to sue people than do hard work like release products that actually work.
