16 Security Scanners Unplugged
An analysis of how well 16 popular security products cope with the latest generation of security threats. As a first step towards clarification I decided earlier this year to carry out a series of tests on home computer security programs. The first of these, reported here, is on signature based security products, the most widely deployed of all home computer security programs.
This class of security product based products includes anti-virus, anti-trojan and anti-spyware scanners. The tests I conducted were quite unlike the traditional tests of such products that focus on the adequacy of their signature detection.
In contrast, I wasn't interested in signature detection but rather how well the products were equipped to handle the latest generation of security tests.

He didn't know if anyone would care, but the next day the national media picked it up, and two days later international media started calling.
The site was flooded with new members -- enough for the nascent movement to sail past the requirements for participation in the national election. Falkvinge now faced a decision: stay with his nice job and let the whole thing quietly sink, or quit and become a campaigning politician. He chose to become the leader of Sweden's newest and fastest-growing political party: Piratpartiet, or the Pirate Party.
