Polls

There are stories about computer security in the news every day, but it can be hard to find an unbiased opinion, or even hard facts. Virus Bulletin would like to know your experiences and opinions about the topics that concern computer users. Whether you're the CEO of an anti-malware company, administrator of a large corporate network or a home user, we'd like to know about your experiences and opinions.

On this page you will find an overview of the previous polls that have run on Virus Bulletin. The current poll can be found on the right-hand side of the page.

Poll is missing this choice:

Yes, I have read to the end of one.

In fact, better choices would be:

1. I always read them in full.

2. I have read at least one in full.

3. I have never read one in full but have read part of one

4. I have never read any part of a EULA

I Agree with sneaker robot: Poll is missing important choices.

You need a "I Occasionally read the EULA all the way through". Right now it seems biased, an all or nothing sorta poll.
