Latest VB100 announced

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   Dec 12, 2007

Windows Server 2003 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 Server 2003 platform under VB's strict testing protocols.

The deadline set for submissions is January 7th, with test sets and test platforms frozen on January 4th - the latest WildList available from the WildList Organization 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. Submission is entirely 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 comparatives is here.

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