McAfee challenges <I>Consumer Reports</I> survey
Robert Vamosi Former Editor
As CNET's former resident security expert, Robert Vamosi has been interviewed on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets to share his knowledge about the latest online threats and to offer advice on personal and corporate security.
As noted McAfee has published an open letter challenging Consumer Reports' methodology. Indeed, I raised my eyebrows when I saw that Consumer Reports had tested antivirus heuristics by creating 5,000 new variants of existing viruses to see how well the products performed at stopping new viruses. McAfee cites a long list of antivirus researchers who are on record saying that creating new viruses is not an acceptable practice in testing antivirus performance, and McAfee points to credible third-party sites, such as AV-comparatives.org, for more sound antivirus testing methodologies.
