Independent antivirus test labs join forces

On Tuesday, Anti-Malware Test Lab and AV-Comparatives.org announced an alliance toward becoming one of the most respected sources of objective and independent information about antivirus products. Together they intend to create a unique system of integrated tests for determining the effectiveness of commercial antivirus software by the end of 2008.

Andrea Clementi, founder of AV-Comparatives, said in a statement that "the partnership with Anti-Malware Test Lab will allow us to evaluate more aspects of antivirus software and to offer users a more comprehensive independent view of various security products."

Clementi further hinted that if this alliance works out, there may be additional alliances of independent antivirus software-testing labs.
