VB regrets that two mistakes crept into the comparative review published in the February 2005 issue.
Virus Bulletin regrets that the Windows NT Workstation comparative review published in the February 2005 issue of VB (see ,VB, February 2005, p.12) contained two errors.
First, AhnLab V3 VirusBlock was noted as having missed a single file in the In the Wild (ItW) test set. However, the apparent miss proved to have been caused by an error in the parsing of the product’s log files. V3 VirusBlock is thus owed a VB 100% award.
Secondly, F-Secure Anti-Virus 5.43 was noted as having missed several files in the ItW test set. However, subsequent investigation indicated that the product’s update process had not completed before the test. After further testing, allowing longer delays after updating, all ItW files were detected. F-Secure Anti-Virus is thus entitled to a VB 100%.
Virus Bulletin apologises for the errors and points readers to http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/about/ for an up-to-date summary of the results of recent comparative reviews.
