Symantec went out from av-comparatives.org

Symantec is another company that went out from http://www.av-comparatives.org/ tested programs.
Does anybody know why? IBK?

Is that because they’re paying for Dennis Labs?
Seems that they are everything but independent… http://www.dennistechnologylabs.com/reports/security/anti-malware/symantec/

Emsisoft also says the tests are too expensive for them (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1604827&postcount=8).

The reason why Symantec run out.
