If you are to suggest an employee to a company you tend to suggest someone close to you that you like rather than someone that you have no relationship with (however only up until the point that it won't hurt your credibility). I believe all types of information is somewhat manipulated by someone's own reality (being them a person or a company), it is frequently forgotten that the government and companies are made by humans and therefore are also an expression of our own nature. http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is not financed by any specific AV company, and it doesn't charge the AV companies to do the tests (you can see from the monthly test results that the "ranking" changes considerably) and that is exactly how the AV world works right now, there is no best antivirus, the ranking of virus detection varies greatly..., There are usually some 3 or 4 at the top ranking (*bold*usually*bold*) but virus detection will depend on how efficient the companies were to identify and collect new viruses samples ( and also the efficiency of the heuristic analysis to identify mainly viruses and avoid false- positives, and the engine). Another point to take into consideration, is that, quantity is not quality (if an AV blocks many low scripts/worms but doesn't block one very dangerous and widespread rootkit or trojan it can't really be considered better than one that does the other way around)... There is also to take into consideration how much resources and scanning time but that's another story... As for ICSA, I would look for AV's certified for XP (no necessarily Home or Pro) because they are practically the same thing... The correct thing to say is not "Trust No-one" but "Be sound and awake" ;) Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Judicandus Guest Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 6:25 pm    Post subject: Re: ICSA certification -- ??? <cri...@ecn.org> wrote: on jul 7, 4:57 am, anonymous <cri...@ecn.org> wrote: on jul 7, 4:57 am, anonymous <cri..@ecn.org>.

They ALL demand big bucks for testing and they ALL give do-overs. while i suspect that to those who are familiar with such things, your anonymous multiplicity gives away you're status as a troll, i'll respond to a few points here... while any organization doing testing does require funding to pay for the work, my understanding is that av-test.org is not paid by av vendors but rather by those who wish to publish such tests (ie. security magazines and the like)... av-comparatives.org's financial relationship with vendors is a little more complicated but they still aren't being paid by vendors to perform tests (rather, they've realized there are services they can provide vendors as a byproduct of having performed a test already and vendors can pay for those services if they wish)... and neither provide do-overs unless the vendor can show that the tester screwed something up... -- "it's not the right time to be sober now the idiots have taken over spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?"
