[QUOTE="Deleted Member 308817310, post: 823237, member: 80647"] No, I meant exactly what I said. The tests are not changed based on how much money you pay. If this were the case, all of the AV testing organisations wouldn't be around anymore. This is a non-proven rumor which usually is only found on forums like this one, typically spread by people when they see their favorite product fail to another. Furthermore, even if there's been a scandal with one organisation, it doesn't reflect the behavior of every single AV testing organisation. AV testing organisations usually require payment so they can conduct their tests and/or for publishing the results publicly. This makes perfect sense because they are not charity. They need to make money so the employees can be paid... like with any other commercial business. Furthermore, I've seen VB TEST conduct tests for new start-up products (or existing ones which are lesser-known and unpopular) for free and I've also seen OPSWAT do the same thing. WiseVector as it stands are not eligible to be a Microsoft AV partner and one of the requirements which WiseVector have definitely not satisfied would be official certification in the AV industry. Whether you're skeptical about such tests is irrelevant and changes absolutely nothing. Microsoft want it and as of right now, WiseVector haven't provided it. [/QUOTE]
