Any plans to test this on VB 100 and AV Comparatives?

[ejr]

My standards of excellence for an AV are how it fairs on the Virus Bulletin 100 test as well as on the AV Comparatives tests.

Any plans to test this product against those standards?

Sure is; it's passed WestCoast labs (awards going up soon); it's in progress at ICSA; and when the next VB100% rolls around we'll submit it to that (VB100% isn't on-demand, just when the next Windows XP testing occurs).

This is my first post on these forums but I am a past user of SD and may decide to get the version 5 since it will be lighter. I had a good experience with the program but haven't gotten the PC Tools anti-virus because I haven't seen it on av comparatives.

I would love to see it there though! And if your worried about the results you could always merge it with SD and make PC Tools anti-malware... Like AVG did with their anti-spyware..Which will definitely boost their results LOTS on the tests.

Appreciate the feedback.

Spyware Doctor 5.0 will be released on the 29th of January.

Since Spyware Doctor 5 is out and its got the ability to have the AV integrated in it... Will we see it on the next AV-Comparatives test?

[btman]

And please give me a straight answer... Not "We are participating in many tests ect"... Be like "Yes soon"... Panda is participating in 2008, I'm mad it will take that long to see their results but at least they've said yes we are... In 2008 lol.

Are you guys going to put SD 5 with the AV plugin for tests on Av-Comparatives? Yes or No. And When?

Simple question...

So you won't put it on the most reputable Anti-Virus testing site made to this date?

Just want to say I uninstalled Spyware Doctor... Although I would have liked to try it with the Anti-Virus addon... If I can't see how well a products doing its job without having to kill my computer... Why should I believe that its top notch protection?
