Here is a site that tries to provide most uptodate security tests and results on Firewalls and other Security products.
What is unique about this initiative is that the testing is done by users for users! This way we can have the most uptodate unbiased test results at your disposal.
Comodo is paying for the hosting of this site, however the results are purely determined by end users who are testing all these products.
You can join to be a tester to contribute to this initiative if you like, we would love to see you help other users.
go ahead and spread the word about this site please!
thanks
Melih
PS: The strentgh of this site and its independence is so powerful as it allows any doubters to run the tests and submit for publishing! So no room for subjectivity or bias! Its world’s first open platform for security testing!
Thank you, Melih,
I was looking for a confirmation that this is a Comodo site – I saw one link these days to this site, and I was wondering. Also, you confirm that that those below are not live malware, and are for testing purposes. detected: malware Exploit.Win32.Copycat.b File: All_tests\copycat.zip/CopyCat/copycat.exe

This tests are safe to use. Some AV’s might detect it as malware, even tho it isn’t considered as real malware (these are for testing purposes only, but might use techniques similiar to real malware). They don’t send any private information, or harm your computer in any way.
Melih; Since the virus-FUD has worked so good that some people try to run 2 AV’s simultaneously
I seriously doubt most people will be able to run these tests as they will be deleted or quarantined by the AV
You might want to tell people that they should disable “real-time AV-protection” when downloading the test-files
or look for them in the AV’s quarantine-folder …
You are right, AV’s shouldn’t flag these files as they are harmless . Just shows how useless AV-programs are when
somebody has forgotten to tell them what to “think” .
Also, you confirm that that those below are not live malware, and are for testing purposes.
