We had this year more than 30 vendors interested in taking part in our tests. As usual, we limited the number of participants to the most interesting/known products which also perform relatively good. Anyway, due the high demand, we increased for this year the number of participants to about 20 instead of 16. The following vendors are on our tentative participation list for the 2010 test-series (other vendors may be tested separately during the year, but we are not allowed to disclose who they are):
Avast, AVG, AVIRA, BitDefender, eScan, ESET, F-Secure, G DATA, Kaspersky, Kingsoft, McAfee, Microsoft, Norman, Panda (NEW entry), PC Tools (NEW entry), Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro (NEW entry), Trustport and maybe one further NEW entry (currently under evaluation).
