in other words, you want him to send samples to people he doesn't know
he can trust and potentially contribute to the virus problem rather than
the solution...
go troll for viruses elsewhere, please...

In what order did you install them? I would expect the last installed to
be the first in line to scan on access and be the first to alert unless
some feature such as e-mail scanning was enabled. Being the first to 'go
off' really means very little when multple AVs are enabled for on-access
scanning and the feature set and configuration varies so much between
programs.

Max has been around for a "long time" and can be trusted. He is not Trolling to
add to a
collection.

that doesn't mean he can be trusted... raid was around for a long time,
would you trust him?
if there was a pre-existing relationship of trust between max and virus
guy then he could have made that request in private... arguably he
should have made the request in private so as to not lend credence to
the idea that this is a place where people share viruses...
and frankly, if the only issue was whether or not he was going to add it
to a collection then it would be a non-issue - i don't care what people
collect or how big their collections are... the issue is trust - in
motives and in competency... can virus guy be adequately certain that
max doesn't have nefarious motives and/or that max is competent to
handle live samples safely? i seriously suspect the answer is no (i also
suspect that virus guy could care less, but that's another matter
entirely)...
