I hope they will stay with Ikarus, who is from Austria not Australia I think.
The Bitdefender engine is to common in so many products right now, this makes it a bigger target for virus makers.

I would disagree, although it makes a bigger target, bitdefender can harness data from computers using all of its engines. Thus it gives great detections to it.

I have read that this is not necessarily true, take Emsisoft for example, if I remember correct they do NOT send samples back to Ikarus.
They just add it to their own database. Same with Hitman Pro also I think?
Look in the past when you had major virus breakouts, all the big names are bypassed to get as much impact as possible.

Bitdefender does benefit most of the times due to its shared engine and database since some times there is no option to upload samples to original vendor so people have to submit samples to bitdefender instead for eg:- Trustport , ASCw/AV and some others but this benefits all other vendors as well those who use bitdefenders engine
And mostly all antivirus companies share information these days not all but critical ones but that depends from vendor to vendor
Some vendors tend not to share the info and some times due to their selfish deeds millions of users are some times left defense less

i guess we will have to wait for emsisoft decision after all ?
