Is the Malware Test site affiliated with BitDefender?

As a company, we have had great success with Webroot Spy Sweeper. Our
spyware problems have diminished greatly since switching to Webroot. I
am really shocked at Webroot's rating of 16.51%.

Should we all switch to BitDefender?

Malware-Test.com has a history of faulty testing methodology. Products
that were top one month are bottom the next month. If you notice the
anti-virus companies came up higher on this set as they used all virus
samples.

I had written a blog about this here:
http://superantispyware.blogspot.com...ce-of-testing-
methodology.html

When we challenged them on the subject, the told us "we won't provide
you samples anymore".
