补充下:360被吊销认证后试图拉 百度腾讯下水 但三家评测机构经过鉴定后 没问题
根据评测的解释是,360修改设置的做法 给360带来评测优势(也就是他们说的‘控制评测’)
而经过360反控,评测机构也对百度和腾讯进行鉴定,但结果是 虽然有一些地方类似但实际上他们没有问题,很多地方不但没有优势反而变成了缺点。
与国内官方不同,360在对评测机构的解释中很清楚的承认 很多设置是为了评测而调整的,与用户使用不同 而且连服务器都特别进行了转移(最接近评测机构)
两篇facebook,和一个公告 ,今天似乎出大事了 而且该公告由国际三家评测机构发的

文中360最终也似乎承认了问题 大家自行备机翻
Testing bodies AV‐Comparatives, AV‐TEST and Virus Bulletin comment on
allegations of inappropriate behavior
Today, three of the world’s most renowned and trusted security testing bodies, AV‐Comparatives, AVTEST
and Virus Bulletin, stand united to censure security vendor Qihoo 360 after finding the firm
submitted products for comparative and certification testing which behaved significantly differently
from those made available to its users and customers. The three testing bodies will revoke all
certifications and rankings awarded to the company’s products so far this year, and going forward will
insist on more open and fair dealings to ensure users are provided with the most accurate information
possible.
Investigations by the three labs found that all products submitted for testing by Qihoo had one of the
product’s four available engines, provided by Bitdefender, enabled by default, while a second, Qihoo’s
own QVM engine, was never enabled. This included versions posted to ostensibly public sections of the
company’s websites.
By contrast, as far as can be determined, all versions made generally available to users in Qihoo’s main
market regions had the Bitdefender engine disabled and the QVM engine active. According to all test
data this would provide a considerably lower level of protection and a higher likelihood of false
positives. Options are provided in the product to adjust these settings, but as the majority of users leave
settings unchanged, most tests insist on using the default product settings to best represent real‐world
usage.
As part of the investigation into Qihoo 360, counter‐accusations were levelled by the company against
two fellow Chinese security firms, Baidu and Tencent. Analysis of products submitted for testing by
these companies turned up some unexpected flags within their products, marked with the names of
several test labs and implying some difference in product behavior depending on the environment they
were run in – similar flags were also found in Qihoo products. However, no evidence could be found that
this gave any significant advantage to either product, and in some cases it even seemed to put them at a
disadvantage. Both firms were able to provide good reasons for including these flags in their products.
On requesting an explanation from Qihoo 360 for their actions, the firm confirmed that some settings
had been adjusted for testing, including enabling detection of types of files such as keygens and cracked
software, and directing cloud lookups to servers located closer to the test labs. After several requests for
specific information on the use of third‐party engines, it was eventually confirmed that the engine
configuration submitted for testing differed from that available by default to users.
Qihoo’s awards and certifications attained since the start of 2015 will thus be stricken from the records
by all three testing bodies, and all three will be imposing stricter demands on test participants to avoid
any further gaming of results by vendors.
“This sort of thing doesn’t really help anyone,” said John Hawes, Chief of Operations at Virus Bulletin
[editorial@virusbtn.com]. “Independent tests serve both users and developers, showing which products
are performing best and highlighting areas where developers need to work harder. If the products being
tested aren’t those being used in the real world, nobody’s getting any useful information.”
Andreas Clementi, CEO of AV‐Comparatives [media@av‐comparatives.org], said: “Independent antimalware
testing plays a key role in raising the standard of protection on users’ devices, which in turn
makes the Internet a safer place for everybody. Misuse of such tests for marketing purposes will, in the
long run, result in more successful malware attacks, making Internet users less secure.”
Maik Morgenstern, CEO of AV‐TEST [presse@av‐test.de], said: “Comparative testing and certification
plays an important role in the anti‐malware industry, both for the users and the vendors. Users rely on
independent results to make an educated decision regarding their protection software. If vendors start
to manipulate the testing process, they are hurting everyone involved.”
About AV‐Comparatives
AV‐Comparatives [av‐comparatives.org] is an independent organization offering systematic testing that
checks whether security software, such as PC/Mac‐based anti‐virus products and mobile security
solutions, lives up to its promises. Using one of the largest sample collections worldwide, it creates a
real‐world environment for truly accurate testing. AV‐Comparatives offers freely accessible results to
individuals, news organizations and scientific institutions. Certification by AV‐Comparatives provides an
official seal of approval for software performance which is globally recognized. Currently, AVComparatives'
Real‐World Protection Test is the most comprehensive and complex test available when it
comes to evaluating the real‐life protection capabilities of anti‐virus software. Put simply, the test
framework replicates the scenario of an everyday user in an everyday online environment – the typical
situation that most of us experience when using a computer with an Internet connection. AVComparatives
works closely with several academic institutions, especially the University of Innsbruck’s
Department of Computer Science, to provide innovative scientific testing methods.
