Who are these people at Malware-Test Lab. They certainly don't give much
information about who they are or what their testing procedures are. Their
web site has not currently been rated by Site Advisor either, so they must be
new. They don't give enough information about how they tested or who they are
for anyone to judge whether they are fair or accurate.

What puzzles me is that MS AntiSpyware scores better than WindowsDefender,
since the latter is supposed to be an update of the former.
