1) Will you Test Panda Cloud Free AV?
2) What about PC Tools AntiVirus Free and A-Squared Free?
I know that you get paid by the Vendors who participate in your Tests,
but
it would be GREAT to see a TEST having some FREE products
(except from the ones offered by AVIRA, avast!, AVG, and Microsoft).

-Apples vs. Oranges-the vendor decides which product (free or commercial version) he wants to submit for testing. if we would decide by ourself they could accuse us to test apple vs. oranges.
I did Not suggest to Test Free AVs -vs- Commercial ones.
That would be Totally Unfair.
But
-Can't you offer an AV-Comparative with exclusively Tested FREE AVs?
You don't have to charge the Vendors for that test.
-Can't Security Software Magazines, Sites etc. sponsor such a Test
if Vendors are Not willing to pay for it?

But NO one (Magazine, Site, Forum etc.) has been interested in such a Test yet, ahyes, they could.
It is surprisingly since most Users rely on FREE AVs especially in the Recession we live in!
Couldn't it be possible to have a Test on FREE AVs
without the Financial Support from Vendors, Magazines etc
It does NOT have to be as Extensive & Thorough as Commercial-AV Tests.
Millions of users hope that AV-C will offer such a test in 2010...

RE: Panda is back?
http://www.av-comparatives.org/weblog/?p=197Apparently Panda decided to start submitting their antivirus product again to AV-Comparatives. Or so they say , at least.
Can you confirm this? And, if so, when will they start being evaluated?
Panda's in the list of 2010 test-series participants. AVC usually have an on-demand test around now, so guessing Panda will be included in this.
Typically released in mid/late Feb
