Abstract

If there is a single problem illustrating the gulf between the anti-malware industry and the rest of the online world, it revolves around the difficulties and misunderstandings that plague product testing and evaluation. This article considers these issues and the initiatives taken by the anti-malware and testing sectors to resolve some of them.
