Open Anti-Virus Test Has Unexpected Results

Untangle held what they called the "Anti-Virus Fight Club" at LinuxWorld in a self-proclaimed search for an anti-virus product to use in their open source gateway appliance. They asked an independent testing lab to certify their appliance, but the lab refused to test Untangle's anti-virus features because they were using an open source product.
