Open letter to Prevx
Please get rid of the marketing rubbish "comparing" Prevx to other vendors, some of which are notable from their absence. The effect looks cheap & no-one believes that type of 70's marketing these days. It's embarrassing!

everybody likes to praise their product best  Maybe not that subtle marketing approach but that is neither here nor there.

Leave the wiki out of it.
Also I'm not sure why the original poster inserted the text Nod32 and Sophos in the snapshot. It's not like they are going to do appreciably better based on the citeria in the chart.

I inserted them because they were 2 of the leading AV packages conspicuous by their absence.

So you think the image is misleading because it does not include what you consider to be leading AV? and if they added it, you would be happy?
You are very naive, no offense.
The problem here isn't the choice of AV presented, if you get my drift. They could include every AV in the market and it still would be misleading.

My posting was aimed at Prevx, not at you personally. My point was that it is poor quality marketing that does Prevx no good & embarrasses at least one of it's resellers.
In my experience as a reseller & tech support, the majority of networks that are presented to me in my specific area are protected by either Trend, Sophos or Nod32.
This thread was regarding their rather crappy new marketing.
In other posts I have made my point that Prevx needs to get way more stable than it is right now. I'd prefer Prevx to put their effort into product stability than into suspect marketing.

biscuity. i am unsure as to how you have demonstrated that the marketing is 'crappy.' may i recommend a little known southeastern seaboard remedy for diststasteful visuals? don't look. we believe in simple fixes in our little neck of the world.

Why? Surely an unbiased comparison is better than one particular company's marketing spin?

Unbiased? It's mostly done by this "LU" guy, I have no clue who this guy is. For all we know he is a shrill for one of the companies. For what's it worth it's clear that he has his biases from the way he structured the page.

Yeah right. 
I'll take that as a confession of sorts.
