Any links to "Independent" AV comparisons?
Not the company sponsored or clearly biased comparisons that I see out there. By independent, I mean that they have no interest at all in who wins or to test only the areas a certain AV will do well in. Totally unbiased tests are rare to find and the AV areana is no exception.

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is well known around here and not biased to any product.

Am I reading that right, that they used AV versions as of Febuary 2003? "VTC test "2004-07" was started in June 2003, with tesbeds frozen as known on December 31, 2003 and products submitted in February 2003"

Is this so "independent"? Isn't it owned by Sophos?¨ Try going here: http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox and do a SmartWhois look-up on "www.virusbtn.com". |

But then again every company has to be owned by someone.

Re: Any links to "Independent" AV comparisons?
VirusBulletin is 'independent'; I do not see that Sophos gets publicity or results in favour of Sophos in VirusBulletin.
Everyone has its own opinion . Just because they are in the same building and share some infrastructures, it does not mean that they are not independent.
