antivirus test sites

[negative creep]

Does anybody know any links to sites where they show antivirus tests? And add why the test is reliable or why not?

[RejZoR]

One of the most simple is EICAR test. Some others can be found on www.security-ops.tk, but are limited to AV mail scanning only (again with EICAR sample).

From here You can find perhaps the most complete AV application tests:

If You read about these tests (from the site) You'll find out why they are pretty reliable.

hi guys. I meant not to test your antivirus yourself. But sites that have tested many AV's.

like: http://www.av-comparatives.org/

I only know this one.

hi Tsehov,

nice link. Only august test isn't out yet. The last test was october 2003. New antivirus scanners have come out by then.

Best wishes,
