I had read the comparison on the computer security issue out of curiosity. The AV program we use wasn't listed. They didn't look at any stand alone firewalls. Plus:
"Well, ok, on to Chapter 2, which is more damning than the AV test. Because I have something which is so incredible, it boggles the mind
In addition to antivirus programs, Consumer Reports tested antispyware applications. And they have now confirmed that they did not test against any spyware for their antispyware testing. (Feel free to read that sentence again.)
Instead, their entire test of antispyware applications was based on running applications against Spycar, a set of applications written by Intelguardians that mimic spyware behavior — directly against the explicit instructions of the Spycar developers. "

Once again it prove they are a bunch of people that know little about a lot of things.
