It was truly a great experience to work alongside such a great group of professionals including testing organizations such AV-Test, ICSA, NSS, CheckMark, AV-Comparatives, PC Magazine and competing AV vendors.

AMTSO Fundamental Principles of Testing.Some of the most important documents that are either already published or which we worked on during last week are the following: Please watch the AMTSO website at for these official documents. We really advanced a lot in specifying different testing guidelines, principles, education documents and methodologies. This has been by far the most productive AMTSO meeting so far. As you may remember Panda Security hosted the first AMTSO meeting in Bilbao early last year. Last week the 4th AMTSO meeting took place in Cupertino, hosted by Symantec. Let's run it through VirusTotal and see the results as of 12:35:51 (CET):Ĭheck the updated VirusTotal scan result here (search for a0713a3639c9d4901daf774022f4bfd2) to see how other engines add detection progressively. It is an Adware/Antivirus2009 rogue antivirus. To see Panda Collective Intelligence in action let's look at a new malware that started spreading a few hours ago (MD5: a0713a3639c9d4901daf774022f4bfd2). You'll notice it by the 10.x version numbering next to the Panda engine.

I'm happy to report that we've now integrated the Panda Collective Intelligence cloud-scanning technology into the VirusTotal service. Thanks to Collective Intelligence we are able to use complete automation (community-driven information, threat analysis, multiple technology checks, malware/goodware determination and signature creation) to protect against the newest and most dangerous variants faster than using the traditional signature approach. As you know we've been using Panda Collective Intelligence from-the-cloud-scanning technologies since about two years ago, initially in our online scanners ActiveScan and also in our Panda 2009 consumer products.
