Careful betting on that... It's the famous-last-words sort of phrase. Ten years ago I started using Sophos, as I deemed an AV product was way too much of an engagement for an unpaid free-software developer to maintain. I switched to ClamAV only a few months ago as Sophos discontinued their Linux support, and I'm happy to see I was wrong. ClamAV is unique in its category, so it's well possible that there's room for improving both the cooperation on detection/analysis and the software tools to accomplish it. Of course, global cooperation will be unbeatable once established. OTOH, users of proprietary products will always be at the mercy of marketing teams striving after profits, where more profitable is not necessarily better for users. > But three days to get some definitions pushed out for a zero-day is a > bit on the slow side, you must agree ! Agreed, but I received 0-day viral mail even when scanning with Sophos. I'm not going to switch back, really.
