Latest VB100 announced

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   Oct 22, 2007

Windows 2000 Professional products to be tested.

VB has issued a call for submissions for the latest VB100 comparative review, which will measure the performance of products for the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional platform under VB's strict testing protocols.

The deadline for product submissions is 29 October, with test sets and test platforms frozen on 26 October - the latest WildList available from the WildList Organisation on this date will be used for the test. Those products which prove capable of detecting the full contents of the WildList, both on access and on demand, without raising any false positives on a set of known-clean files, will be awarded VB100 certification.

An overview of the VB100 testing process can be found here, with more in-depth details of the testing procedures here. Products are tested free of charge, and any software vendors interested in submitting a product for the test should contact John Hawes for further information. The schedule for future comparative reviews is here.

The detailed results of the test will appear in the December issue of VB, available (from 1 December) to subscribers only - see here for details of how to subscribe.
