As more and more AV vendors are developing "in the cloud" technology to improve AV products' detection ability, we add an addtional rule to our testing methodology of on demand testing.

That is, if an antivirus product had the module containing "in the cloud" techonology, we test it twice: first, we test it when the network connection is cut off and later we test it while the network connection is on(The related "in the cloud" function will also be turned on). The auto-update function is power off.

Here the "in the cloud" technology means Internet authentication, cloud analysis, etc. And both the result with or without "in the cloud" technology will be shown in the final testing report.

A new tool called Multi Command-Line Scanner had been developed for malware analysis. The current version of Multi Command-Line Scanner is V 1.5. This tool will be used to better identify the approximate time when the malware come out and detected by some AV vendors.

Currently, there are 20 different antivirus engine used for malware scanning.


For the detailed function of Multi Command-Line Scanner,please click read more.

Due to the Security and Law issues, we set our online "Malware-List" storage folder   www.pcsecuritylabs.net/malwarelist  password-protected.

For our aim of improving PC Security, we open the access right for normal antivirus vendors and independent testing labs. AV vendor and testing labs, if wanting to fetch samples, please send inquiry email to Jeffrey Wu (jeffrey@pcsecuritylabs.net) and declare that the samples will only be for research only and then receive a unique account for acessing Malware-List packages.

The Malware-List packages will be uploaded after testing is finished and the password for each package will be stored in password-package.doc.

This is a free service providing to the whole security industry powered by PC Security Labs and let's try our best together to offer a safer environment to all the users.

Best Regards
Jeffrey
