    Hi all,

    i read reviews all the time about internet security and so on and which one is best blah blah. I wanted to ask though, Who are the main organisations that are responsible for these reviews? Who are the 'big dogs' so to speak? Who are the true malware testing leading company?

    i know it sounds like a stupid question and that, well, i thought that too. Then i thought that im actually using the internet for what its for..... Finding out information that interests you!

    Caliban I don't need no steenkin' title!

    Tough questions, and you open up so many avenues by the use of the broad term 'malware'.

    I would guess that CERN, the NSA, Interpol, etc. would be the 'big dogs' as far as interpreting actual threats, with financial consortiums following closely behind.

    Here is one organisation that will provide lots of info on various Security products/testing.

    Search for matousec.com on your favourite Search engine.
    Google link is http://www.google.com/search?q=matousec.com&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images

    One example of their findings.

    They don't hold back on their findings, IMO.:-D

    Actually, all the companies that provide Anti-virus software are constantly testing. The question is how long it takes a company to come up with the detection and removal methods to combat new malware as it comes along. Some respond faster than others.
