Sure, it's a bad idea for the vendors to be submitting malware to the site, but what about the rest of the malware hating world? I know I use the site all the time to try to get a handle on what I am looking at. I really don't care if the vendors look bad, so be it, we live in an increasingly capitalist world and competition drives capitalism. If they can't handle the competition..they should get out of the business. If they are slacking off, we as consumers deserve to have the option to compare current antivirus software. The point of the site is to have a better chance of identifying malware, leave it to the vendors to turn it in to something more than it really is. AV vendors suck.
