McAfee has been receiving inquiries from its users over the results of the Untangle test.
The “Fight Club” test at LinuxWorld was not only a test of AV products. McAfee has missed a point here: the test also demonstrated that AV tests rarely publish their methodology. A test that lacks open review of the methodology used and that as a result shows any vendor in a positive light can’t be considered objective.
The “Fight Club” test is the only test, that we are aware of, to fully publish its methodology. Vendors that don’t fare well in tests that can be scrutinised are happy to make claims based on tests conducted behind closed doors that lack published methodology and success criteria because those tests cannot be questioned.
While the methodology in this test has been debated, we believe that all tests should be as open to review as the Untangle test was!
