Kobra's AV test on 6-14-04

Kobra,

You don’t get banned for criticizing NOD32 or any other security product. There are plenty people who criticize NOD32 (or any other product) and they are not banned from Wilders.

You’ve got banned for continues bashing. We don’t support product bashing of any name or any kind.

Yeah,but if it sucks,it sucks. Then we’re all Symantec bashers (well their software really sucks,at least for home users) :stuck_out_tongue:

WTF? Continued product bashing? How about being a registered owner of a product that continued to let me down, and I was posting detailed examinations about how and why it let me down. Thats not bashing, thats constructive critisizing. But hey, i’ve heard from most people that they too get warnings for posting critisizms of NOD32 over there - legit ones too.

Show me a post on Wilders were I flat out “Bashed” NOD32, and i’m not talking about posts illustrating a weakness in the product, or real concerns. I’m talking about flat out saying “NOD32 sucks butt, don’t buy it” kind of bashing… I challenge you to find one! What I did on the NOD32 forums wasn’t REMOTELY as harsh as what i’ve done on the Avast forums. I’ve pointed out some issues i’ve had with Avast, pointed out a problem with bombs, and other things, and they’ve never warned me, in fact, they replied with concise, well worded, and explanatory replies. I assure you, i’d of been run the hell off Wilders playpen if I even tried posting 1% of that.

But thats ok, myself and a few others are addressing these concerns directly with NOD32, and it appears they might be moving their support forums inhouse soon. I guess i’m not alone with having issues with their so called “Official” forums.

Read your post carefully including ones posted by using different names.

Thats not much of a reply, and I stand by my case. At any rate, its HIS loss, not mine. Wilders was one of the smallest forums I frequent anyway, so its not a big deal. My main forum is 250k members strong, and I am a moderator there, so thats what counts. Not some smalltimer forum with a cultist fanboy moderator.

But its funny, even after i’ve vacated from that forum, people in that forum manage to reference my posts on the net from other locations. So despite Pauls best efforts to “Silence” the critic, hes pretty much failed miserably. That must be quite a blow to his self esteem.

Water under the bridge, I have a proxy scrambler now anyway, so if I did want to post there, its not a real issue, but frankly, I have no interest in that forum. You wilders boys just go about your business, you are a non-issue for me at this point.

Kobra what forum is 250k members strong??? :o And what is your username there?

PM’d you, as I don’t advertise other forums on other forums. =)

Strange i don’t think You bashed NOD32 lot, i saw people on wilders doing that MUCH more and not getting banned …

oh well, weird decision from them …

P.S. i bashed them lot, our partners using NOD32 and it failed, thats why :slight_smile:

I’m inclined to believe Kobra just from his posts here that it was probably more critical feedback than product bashing.

Granted, some of Kobra’s posts can SEEM a little brash and hard to swallow ;D especially the whole skinning fiasco.

I say ban him just incase :stuck_out_tongue: (just kidding)

LoL and i thought any product critic can be usefull … ;D

But i find funny if developer DENY his program can inferior to other program :wink:

it’s neat Alwil guys don’t think this way

This review should have an information of whish number of virus, trojans, etc, the AV failed, not only the number of fails…

To Alwils credit, nothing bad was said about the test - or against me personally, I sent them the missed samples, and the issue seems to have been dealt with.

Seems to me, the only people making a big fuss, are the people over at a certain forum that are known cultists, upset their “Chosen” AV has been scoring miserably on every recent test its been put through. Tough luck I say to them, maybe spend your money more wisely next time.

Can’t wait to see how Alwil improves this MONSTER though… I think theres a sleeping giant here. ;D
