I always knew you were a Comodo fanboy.

No, he isn’t.
As Tech always says his personal opinon, independently where he posts.

There is a huge difference between posting on a forum and being a fanboy.
I’ve posted on their forum but Comodo has never called me a fan. ;D ;D

Yes, I remember this incident…

[bob3160]

None of this Comodo sidetracking changes the fact that I’d like to see
the fact that the AV companies are charged for AV Comparatives services
in plain view. So that no one thinks that their services are free.
I’d also like to see their impartiality in their testing methods clearly spelled out.
If we are to rely on these test results, then every legitimate AV Company should be treated equally.

Thanks Bob.
Seems that YoKenny wants to bash me.
I’m not even an avast fanboy.

We know that Tech and I’m not even a fanboy at any forum website or the software product I choose

Hello Red,

My Two Cents;

It’s not that Comodo Doesn’t want to have the results published, It’s the fact that they don’t want to pay Couple Hundred Euros Extra to have AV C to publish the results.

You can see the results at Melihs Blog

Jacob

Hi Jacob,

Thnx for the link

In my opinion the results are good and promising, if you take in consideration the relative short time Comodo is on the AV market.

Greetz, Red.

Spin-Doctor’s advice to any would-be Saviour of the World

See yourself as the White Knight, the instigator of a new paradigm of PC protection?
Happy to let such a cult of personal adulation persist and grow?
Then try to always have someone in your sights to paint as the Black Knight.

e.g.
Symantec
MRG

AVC

I’d certainly like an explanation of your statement. ??? ??? ??? ???

Bob,

He is talking about Melih, and you were one of his " targets/victems " as well

Greetz, Red.

Bob, you gotta watch The Dark Knight. You will get what he means. The thing about being a White Knight or a Dark Knight. The movie is good though

It is kinda EPIC

A bit off topic so no need to say that I am

Understood. Not a victim but certainly a target. I guess the truth hurts. ;D

Personally, I’ve never paid much attention to AV-Comparatives. They remind me of J.D. Powers, which in my opinion, is the poster child, of skewing data, to fit whatever results they want.

I think Andreas (IBK) is running a respectable organization and a lot of users were guided by his tests that are conducted seriously.
The only point was that we thought no company pays nothing. In fact, all pay the same.
If the results are not influenced by the payment, and there is no evidence at all of this, we can trust in av-comparatives tests.

So, I’ll go with your opinion, and will remove my original comments.

Well… They can be there, no problems, no need to remove them.
