Errata - Windows Server 2003 comparative review

Posted by Virus Bulletin on Dec 2, 2004

VB regrets that three mistakes crept into the Comparative review published in the November issue.

The mistakes were as follows:

The version number for Sophos Anti Virus should have read 3.86, not 3.83 as published.
The values for CAT Quickheal in the standard on-demand test set should have read 'Misses: 169, Detection: 92.91%' in all occurrences (the on access results were erroneously duplicated).
Norman Virus Control did not reproducibly miss detection of any samples in the In the Wild test set and thus is due a VB100% award.

VB apologises for the errors.
