Panda Vs AV-Comparatives
« on: May 18, 2008, 04:22:27 PM »
I don't know if any of you know, but Apparently there was some kind of disagreement between Panda and Andreas Clementi from AV Comparatives.

Found it while reading the virus blog over at Authentium (Command AV)
http://blogs.authentium.com/virusblog/?p=229

The folks at Authentium BTW don't really like home grown AV Tests, and have posted against such places in their blog before.   Id imagine thats why they wont pay av-Comparatives to test their product. (and yes according to Panda you do have to pay read below)

The Panta blog that sparked the whole arguement is here (also linked in the Authentium blog):

All this from a company that won't even encrypt its virus signatures so other AVs don't detect the unencrypted signatures inside the files.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security
