Just thought I'd add my two-cents in here. Virus Bulletin has been running for 16-odd years, and is THE anti-virus industry magazine. Everyone in the industry subscribes to it, it's really that simple :-) Sadly they've completely retardo'd their website, but note that the site is the fourth entry for 'virus' on Google. They run annual conferences attended by all the major anti-virus researchers ( http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2005/programme/index.xml) and the idea that the site is non-google-able is entirely ridiculous (try googling for it!). Anti-virus companies are keen to put VB's VB100 award all over their products:

Consequently, Virus Bulletin can hardly be compared to a really independent magazine such as "Secure Computing" (also of UK).
