Security researcher Joxean Koret has been testing 17 antivirus engines and products. He claims he’s found remotely or locally exploitable vulnerabilities in 14 products. Koret’s findings have earned him a bug bounty from Avast and accolades from Finnish anti-virus firm F-Secure, which received a related bug report from Koret in the spring of 2014. “Do not blindly trust your AV product,” Koret says, warning that security products may not always be entirely secure.”]
