Authentium Virus Blog

A friend pointed me to this entry: Rants of an immature AV company

I have met the Panda guys a few times and they seem to be good guys.

I have met Andreas Clementi from AV Comparatives a few times too.

I have stated repeatedly that not all testers were created equal. I can share lots of opinions about AV Comparatives, but I won’t. Let us just say that AV Comparatives has never tested Authentium software and never will.

I think the Panda guys behaved properly and honorably. I personally am not impressed by this. Several other people I have talked to in the industry are also less impressed.

[Edit]

It seems like some sanity has prevailed and the blog entry from AV-Comparatives has been removed. The original post from Panda that provoked this is: Do-It-Yourself AV comparative

I always believe that it is better to handle disputes in private, but I also think there has been too many things happening in the background that should rather not have.

I have also had some pretty aggressive anti-AV Comparatives comments on this entry. I prefer not to post comments of that nature.
