Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test
talkinsecurity writes "In a public, side-by-side test conducted last night at LinuxWorld, ten antivirus products were confronted with 25 known viruses. The results were surprisingly disparate. Only three of the products caught all of the viruses; three only caught 61 percent, and one caught an abysmal 6 percent. The test, which wasn't particularly complicated, proves that there still are wide differences in the effectiveness of AV tools. A lot of people think all AV tools are the same — they're not!"
Blame yourselves.
Listen p*ssy. I'm sure your the same homo that posted earlier about alf's boner and you just want to remain anonymous fo
Scanning through the comments section of this article, I cant help but feel that there are a significant number of Lunix fanatics that blame Microsoft for everything wrong with Lunix. The article was about antivirus products and Linux. Nothing to do with the MS boogieman. Lunix too hard for office worker X? must be MS. App doesnt work on Lunix? All Bill Gates fault.
These purile conspiracy theories demonstrate that the attitude of the Lunix community is not serius enough for the corporate world, which is why my company has had such a success rate converting small business from red hat / ubuntu to windows.
