Source categories — what feeds this score

Why this matters: Single-source review sites read very differently from the composite. Selection bias — only the loudest users self-report — is reduced here by aggregating across several sources. The category breakdown below shows the current mix and contribution without naming individual platforms. Methodology v5.3.0.

This market: 4 sources across 3 categories.

Counts are grouped from the source rows in this market. Em-dashes mean no eligible signal exists in that category yet.

Auto-renewal charges without prior notice→ steady2
Unresponsive support: unanswered emails, dropped chats, missed callbacks→ steady2
Uninstall difficulty and negative user sentiment→ steady1

Clusters are counted signals, not a legal finding. A cluster reflects how often a theme recurs in public review text — it is not an adjudicated complaint, an allegation upheld, or proof of wrongdoing.

Rising, steady and easing describe changes in counted mentions during the displayed evidence window. They are not findings or predictions.

This page shows verifiable facts and user-reported service quality. IndexFair publishes no antivirus detection-efficacy score: independent-lab detection data (AV-TEST, AV-Comparatives, SE Labs) is licensing-blocked, so lab results appear only as cited certification facts, never a rating.
