Anti-Virus Comparative report

Just a few observations on the report.

The report seems to be relatively unbiased seeing as ESET have their name associated with it. It is surprising that AVG, Norman, Trend Micro and McAfee did not participate in the tests.

I have posted my own evaluations of various A-V products over the time that I have been maintaining this blog.

This is the pdf:
A report from AV-Comparatives e.V.
My point was that if ESET are one of the companies that participated in the test/report I would not have expected it to be impartial.  Also the fact there there were some "major players" that did not participate was something to note.

ESET was not the "sponsor" of that test.

Innsbruck - you are correct - The presentation on Techtarget.com was sponsored by ESET.

Even so, I applaud ESET for doing so when their products did not come out "on -top" - that was my point.

The report and tests were from AV-Comparatives e.V. (most likely you! - feel free to post as other than anonymous)

On the other hand you may want to go after TechTarget or ESET - at least I posted a link to your report!
