Ok, thanks to the recent PC Mag and other articles, I’ve actually had a client ask me a question today regarding testing AV software.  Their Norton Corporate Contract expires soon, and they have been somewhat unhappy with portions of it.

 

He wants to setup a box, and pull a “PC Mag” and just infect it to all get out, make a ghost image, then see which AV software does better.  He’s considering TrendMicro OfficeScan, Norton Again, or CA.

 

It’s an interesting idea, but honestly; I don’t much care for the concept of going out and “hunting for” virus files to test with.

 

Has this ever come up anywhere else and been tested?
