Pros vs. Cons
I have discussed multiple positive aspects of PCrisk.com. Nonetheless, its negative features should be noted as well.
While it is praiseworthy, that the founder and editors deliver explicit reviews and malware termination guides, the excessive text is also a drawback.
The articles reflect author’s understanding and knowledge, but too much technical information stacked into blocks wanes users’ interest.
Each of us prefers processing information as fast as possible. Thus, the paragraphs should be divided into smaller subsections and emphasized key aspects.
Furthermore, best anti-virus reviews include more objective details in contrast to the reviews of anti-malware programs. Even though they are explicit, they lack critical approach towards the negative aspects of the tools. In overall, the front page is crowded with information blocks which do not attract attention either.
Finally, Website scanner is highly practical, however, it is not fully developed yet. Not all URLs can are processed properly.
