List of Scanners used during tests: ----------------------------------- The following list summarizes products/versions tested as well as options (if any) used during test. Ordering of entires is alphabetical concerning product names. For each product/version, the "CodeName" field identifies the product (3-4 characters) and versions (1-5 digits/characters). This abbreviation is used as name of file under which respective scanner results (abbrev.zip, combining boot, file and macro virus scans, indicated by suffix .boo, .fil and .mac respectively) are stored in the "SCAN-RES" archive. Producer addresses were essentially taken from Rob Slade`s "Antiviral contacts listing", version January 15, 1997 (published in Virus-L Vol.10 #13-14). We wish to thank Rob for his work and care to offer actual information, and for his agreement that we may use excerpts of his work. If some producer finds that we have tested a version of their scanner which is too old, they are invited to send us an update. We also invite producers of scanners which are not on this list, to send us the product for testing, *if* it fulfils the set of basic listed in the file 5TESTCON.TXT. In future tests, we intend to include those scanners which proved to fulfil test conditions, and scanners with serious test problems (see 8PROBLEM.TXT) will be only be tested if actual versions conform with the test conditions. With growing testbeds, testing will become even more difficult and time consuming than today even if automated. Indeed, we have vasted quite some time in attempting to run such give such scanners a fair chance (or to force some not to play some tune after each virus detected :-) 0 Product: ALERT Version: ALERT 4.10-13 11-25-1996, ALERT 4.10-14 12-30-1996, ALERT 4.10-15 02-03-1997 CodeName:AL41013, AL41014, AL41015 Company: Look Software AAdress: http://www.look.com/ VASCAN-Option: /b /s /p /r /e* Product: AVAST!
