Hi again all,
I sent off some quick emails today to
the following AV companies asking if
they might be interested in donating
licenses to us in exchange for 'scanned
by' notes by the download links.
The reasoning for doing this was that
since we have to rebuild the downloads
archive anyway (necessitating re-assembling
copies of software from various potentially
untrusted sources), scanning with one or
more current AV products couldn't hurt,
and would contribute to differentiating
HOTU from smaller / less careful sites out
there.
Companies approached by email were:
- AVG
- BitDefender
- CentralCommand (Vexira)
- Frisk (F-Prot)
- McAfee (VirusScan)
Hopefully we can get multiple companies
interested for better coverage, though it
may be none, anyway it doesn't hurt to
ask.
