You choose to un-lock the previous thread in order to provide an answer, and lock it behind you , so there is no other choice than to create another thread.
 
Your answer specifies "Webroot chooses to not participate in mainstream AV testing ...." while the answer provided by TripleHelix says " The AV-Comparatives team and Webroot have together decided ...."
 
So , which is which?
 
Seems like , in fact is solely Webroot decision not to participate rather than a "Joint decision with AV testing"

What is with this 'fixation' about testing organisations? The information has been provided...and either one takes it at face value or not.
 
I personally do...but each is entitled to make their own judgement...so can we stop this quizzing...as quizzing is not going to change the answer...LOL

Well IMO it's: Webroot chooses to not participate. Why for many reasons such as what Drew said here at the bottom of the page: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Webroot-nowhere-to-be-seen-in-AVComparatives-or-AV-Test/td-p/299543/page/2

Both...you make up your mind as to what it means and how you react to it...really...that is not very difficult to do. LOL

You are right , is not difficult at all: choose a proved antivirus which passed constantly 99% detection rate in both AV Test and AV Comparative. Why take an unnecessary risk???
