Well, there's a right way and a wrong way. Unfortunately ConsumerReports.org didn't know of ESET's NOD32 or the right way to test for unknown viruses either.

The real answer is that there is no scientific data to support a claim that the Mac OS is a safer OS than Windows, and the truth is that it really is not the issue.

NOD32 now detects attempts to exploit the Excel vulnerability announced June 16th.

It's been a busy day in anti-virus land. There is a reported zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Excel.

Perhaps calling it DDAY is a little over hyped. Mind you, nothing like the hype associated with people who call the worm du jour "Kama Sutra".

Working in the anti-virus industry requires a good stock of tin foil hats to hand out to some strange conspiracy theorists.

Tip, never trust an anti-virus or anti-spyware product that scans for free but will not clean until you pay.

There is a remarkable similarity between traffic cameras and adware. I know, it sounds more like spyware, but it really is closer to adware.
