Good evening,
A few years ago, I found a web site "https://www.av-test.org" when trying to find comparisons of windows-7 anti-virus software. I more recently re-visited that site, and found an article on Linux and anti-virus software for Linux. It's here:
"https://www.av-test.org/en/news/news-single-view/linux-16- ".security-packages-against-wind ows-and-linux-malware-put-to- the-test/
I have a few questions for this list:
1. How independent and objective is the group doing these tests, comparisons, and evaluations? This is important for knowing just how much weight to give what they say.
2. If you've had any experience with any of the anti-virus packages reported on in that article, especially those that received high scores for workstations, what is your review of that/those packages?
I do see that this article is nearly 2 years old. And I do realize that nothing gives me 100% protection or detection.
Given that the US government has limited use of Kaspersky software (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-kasperskylab-idUSKBN19W2W2), reviews of AV software should
mention known ties to national government agencies. Careful people shouldn't use tools they or a trusted agent didn't build from source, and should be careful about where
they get database updates.
