whitepaper Emerging Trends in Fighting Spam26/03/08 Symantec
  Spam has been a serious problem for email administrators and users alike for more than five years, growing from one in six emails in 2002 to approximately three out of four emails today. In fact, after five years of dealing with spam and throwing significant resources at the problem, 54% of messaging decision-makers in mid-sized and large organizations still view spam as a serious or very serious problem according to a recent Osterman Research survey.

This white paper from Osterman Research focuses on the problems caused by image spam, as well as other spammer techniques for delivering content through existing spam-blocking defenses.

whitepaper GFI MailEssentials & GFI MailSecurity VS Symantec Brightmail 6 & Anti Virus2008-12-04 GFi Software
  GFI MailSecurity uses multiple virus scanners to scan inbound email. Using multiple scanners drastically reduces the average time to obtain virus signatures which combat the latest threats, and therefore greatly reduces the chances of an infection. The reason for this is that a single anti-virus company can never ALWAYS be the quickest to respond. For each outbreak, virus companies have varying response times to a virus, depending on where the virus was discovered and so on.

whitepaper The Only Way to Permanently Remove Viruses, Spyware, and Malicious Code2008-12-01
  The average computer user is aware of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, but do they really work at removing the infection? In the author's experience, they do not work, at least not 100% of the time or even close to that. Virus and spyware removal can take many, many hours to complete. First one has to scan the computer, then they must remove the infections. If one is using multiple anti-spyware applications, one will have to scan and remediate with each piece of software. The usual run time is about 1-2 hours depending on the speed of the computer and the size of the hard drive. Add in multiple scans and one can easily see how this can take up lots of time.

whitepaper Untangling the Wheat From the Chaff in Comparative Anti-Virus Reviews2008-11-04 Small Blue-Green World
  One of the banes of the anti-virus researcher's life is the widespread confusion about "Correct" comparative testing of anti-virus and anti-malware products. The author has just been looking at some reports describing an "AntiVirus Fightclub" test carried out recently at LinuxWorld. Forget the fact that this looks at first glance like a test of Linux products (actually, it wasn't): there are questions to be raised about testing methodology that need to be considered on any platform.
