So in order to be relevant, c omparative evaluations of AV apps need to be based on the same scientific methodology that applies generally in the field of product testing and evaluation, and that means that That’s because personal experiences with malware tend to be very limited for careful users, and because personal experiences with AV apps are always sequential in nature and consequentially only allow for comparisons between old and new versions – because anybody who’s offering you advice based on their own personal experience just doesn’t have enough information to make a valid comparison. It really doesn’t matter who says what on this topic So most people naturallyĪssume that all they have to do is just decide who to believe based on the experience, level of technical expertise, and impartiality of the person making the recommendation – and that’s simply not true. ![]() The first observation that we need to make here is that there are as many different answers to this question as there are free antivirus apps, and that by the accepted laws of logic, they can’t all be the best.
