Question about Mr. Marx

Good day,

one can always read here about the "bad tests" performed by Mr. Marx. Usually, this is combined by the fact that Virus Bulletin's tests (the 'anti-virus bible') are much better.

If this would be true, I cannot understand why Mr. Marx is one of the top authors for Virus Bulletin. If you look at his website, he lists 14 papers/articles he has written for them already:
http://www.av-test.org/sites/references_papers.php3?lang=en

You can also find two Virus Bulletin conference papers and he is also invited to talk about tests at this year's VB conference, see here:
http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2004/abstracts/amarx.xml

Isn't this strange? If he would really be a bad tester, noone would allow him to write for the 'AV bible'!

Hi! Since this thread has nothing to do with NOD32 I have moved it here to "other security issues;" as it does not involve "other AV software either."

 

For instance - some of the tests does not follow rules set by Mr. Marx himself in his papers...
