Very nice English then

There is a topic somewhere about this on these forums. I’ll post back soon.

Hi Searinox

The issue was we never “tarted up” our code to make us look better by passing this or that test! We built our security product with the understanding of current threats and made sure our users were secured from these threats! Now, with Matousec funfair this philosophy was forced to change and we had to fix (ok it only took us less than an hour to put that fix into code of course plus QA etc…) but we did this NOT because we thought that would provide material additional security, but because of the Matousec situation eg: Marketing gimmick.

The point is: We build security products, our philosophy is to build a top notch security product to “secure our users against threats”. Our priorities are to protect against malware and NOT to pass some tests for marketing gains! Our instructions to our developers is not “come on guys lets figure out how we can pass these tests” but “to protect our users from threats”. Egemen would not talk to me if this was our strategy! Our belief is that if we build our security products to offer the best security possible, everything else will follow. We do NOT and never have had any strategy to go out of our way to pass this test or that test so that we can use it as a marketing gimmick!

So I do understand why you wanted us to test, and we have been pushed into corner by the gimmicky nature of what has happened and made an exception to “ask for test for marketing purposes” as passing those tests has no material impact on user security.

As I pointed out in my other email, I am confident that David will learn and improve his process as per our discussion with him. David did explain that he did not intend this to be a gimmicky funfair and this was a side affect of new methods he put in place and he is reviewing them to improve the methodology. So after showing my dissatisfaction if we can have a better testing method, than I consider my efforts to be worthwhile for our end users and any vendor that utilises David’s services.

thanks
