Consumer group slammed for creating 'test' viruses

August 27, 2006

"Why would anyone ... want to add to the glut?"
John E. Dunn

In an act that has long been considered technical taboo, U.S. consumer affairs organization, ConsumerReports.org, decided to generate 5,500 "test" viruses to run, under lab conditions, against 12 leading antivirus software products.
