Alexis, You can look at all the reports in the world about the best AV and Firewalls, but at the end of the day, no reports can tell you which product to go for. What you really need to do is to obtain eval copies of the software (or demo boxes of Firewall / AV products) and test them and determine whether they fit your environment. Often or not, the independent reports are sponsored by vendors. I may be wrong on this, and I wish you the best of luck in finding some truly independent reports on the products you are researching.

Dear List, Where can we get information about the best ANTIVIRUS and FIREWALLs in the market, not the ones with most marketing, the ones with the best feautures. I mean I would like to have independent reports, also comes the question which reports are independent that we can trust, as you know many vendors pay to be evaluated to some of these companies that do research and publications. I hope not to disturb anybody, but i really would like to know with your help which vendors offer the best technologies, i am very interested to have reports that validate and offer a ranking for ANTIVIRUS & FIREWALL vendors. As a list of people who share knowledge and technology I think that this information could be very helpful for all of us but I want to emphatize that we must be very careful to validate that reports and companies that create these are 100% independent or at least near that. Best regards, Alexis Villagra
