What's best? ASProtect or Armadillo

I'm currently using ASProtect on my software but I'm considering move to Armadillo because the ASProtect author seems to have abandon the product. No new updates since August, almost a week to reply back to emails, etc etc.

What do you guys/gals think has the best protection? ASProtect or Armadillo? My software using ASProtect is usually cracked in a few days after it's released. I'm not thinking on a move to try to improve this because I know that everything can be cracked

But Armadillo does have very nice features over ASProtect.

Thanks,
Steven

The odd thing is that I emailed the SVK Protector author asking what, in his opinion, was better on SVK Protector than on ASProtect. He replied to continue using ASProtect because SVK Protector was very similar.

Just to throw my 2 cents in here, I agree with crusader in that ASProtect is better than Armadillo. I might even go so far as to say ASPR's the best protector out there (disregarding that Xtreme bullshit that makes your app run 800% slower).

The problem is that no one uses it properly.

If you integrate it into your program tightly, and make heavy use of the encrypted/decrypted sections etc, ASPR can be very effective. Just doing a simple wrap of your program with ASPR is not enough, as you can well see...

Regards
