How do you know if an anti-virus test is any good? | Libertés Numériques | Scoop.it

Anti-virus or, as we say now in the industry, anti-malware testing has been around for years.

These tests and comparatives are the consumer reports of the IT security industry, aimed at educating both the anti-malware developer and the consumer on how a product performs.

There's been a fair bit of activity in the anti-malware testing world lately - both AV-Test and AV-Comparatives released major reports last week, and at Virus Bulletin we're putting the finishing touches to our latest comparative on Windows XP, due out in the next week or so.
