[QUOTE="Andrezj, post: 1015703, member: 97580"] who would compel such testing? there is no standard of security software performance to which any government, agency, or law making body can force an av company to comply even if a government tried, they can only come up with a bare minimum set of guidelines - which is what the av industry has already agreed upon and participates in av testing even with drugs and automobiles, things that are regulated for life and safety reasons, the manufacturers and industry organizations have lots of influence in shaping the regulations and testing they must comply with from your point of view, but for the av company it is just to prove that their product meets a protection standard that is agreed upon by them, which is based upon industry standards of testing such as amsto from the av company point of view, they particiapte in testing for marketing purposes, not to reveal all possible weaknesses av test labs do their best efforts and work very hard to conduct reliable trustworthy testing, they try their best to detect av company that tries to optimize their product to perform will in tests (gaming the test), the labs refuse unreasonable demands by av companies, and some test labs just will not do business with certain av companies because of disagreements lots of people believe or claim that av test labs alter results based upon av company paying them, that is not true for the reputable labs, every av test agreement that i have seen gives the av company the right to not publish results should they believe there is a problem with the test, this is a standard practice for most product testing [/QUOTE]
