The founder of the independent portal Anti-malware.ru, an employee of Kaspersky Lab, Ilya Shabanov, working under the pseudonym Sergey Ilyin, announced that he had broken off relations with ESET and LETA.

Interestingly, as Sergey Ilyin, Ilya O. negotiated with test laboratories abroad, in order to conclude strategic alliances for joint testing. About these attempts and the failed union, Andreas Klimenti, AV-Comparatives, spoke in his blog , hinting at the affiliation of the resource.

Working for one of the vendors does not prevent Ilya Olegovich Shabanov from considering himself an independent expert, let's get market assessments, test Kaspersky Lab's anti-virus software and competing companies.

In general, there is no crime, but, given the portal’s popularity and the fact that Anti-malware.ru estimates are quoted by leading media, the question of the “independence” of the resource itself, and of its founder itself, is not, in my opinion, an internal affair of Oleg Shabanov and lk.
