Very well done!
There is a lot of new and improved security software in beta or very immature. It is a very interesting time to see how all these new products play out. I fear short cuts due to the intense competition at this time will be taken. Patience is a virtue.

The short cuts issue is a highly relevant point to make.
Ironically, Iobit's handling of their beta program was a revelation compared to say when Comodo introduced the world to CIS. OK so the Comodo suite is now one of the best of it's type available but was the trail of broken hearts and machines along the way really fair? Some argue that you cannot fully test these things except in the public domain and that many of the issues do not surface until this happens. That said, Privacyware, Avast, Avira, Prevx and Emsisoft amongst others seem to manage this process well enough with private testing before unleashing it on the rest of us.
