Hey Randall, long time no see..

I was chatting with a lady from AV-Test.org a few weeks ago when she did an
article about antivirus programs and how they compared. When I asked her
why she only tested certain functions none of which included ability to
remove a virus she said that they didn't have time.

I pointed out that most people don't buy AV (or download free versions)
until they are infected so it was probably a pretty important feature and
she agreed but said they didn't have time to do a proper comparison of all
the features.

I kinda got the feeling they were more interested in making money by having
test results ready by a magazine deadline than testing and publishing
proper results.
