[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1114370, member: 114717"] A software publisher can legitimately state that a government uses their software if that is indeed the case. At least in the EU and similar nations. However, a government that does internal testing of the software is not ever going to publicly release the test results because poor test results will surely result in claims of poor testing by incompetent government personnel, if not also threats of lawsuits. If the NSA had publicly released the results of the NSA's FinSpy testing against all the AVs about 10 years back, then all those AVs except Comodo and Emsisoft would have sued the U.S. NSA. But since it was Julian Assange and WikiLeaks that stole and released the infos, none of the AVs could do a thing about it. [/QUOTE]
