The June 2010 issue of Virus Bulletin is now available for subscribers to browse online or download in PDF format.

Some of the things this month's issue has in store are:

• VB100 certification on Windows Server 2008: VB's lab team battled with inconsistencies and unreliable behaviours in this month's VB100 test, but eventually managed to pull together some meaningful results. John Hawes names and shames the badly behaved products and reveals this month's VB100 winners.

• PWN2KILL, EICAR and AV: scientific and pragmatic research: 'Crossing over to the Dark Side of the customer/vendor divide has made me increasingly aware of just how bad "bad" can be.' David Harley, ESET

• Anti-unpacker tricks - part nine: Last year, a series of articles described some tricks that might become common in the future, along with some countermeasures. Now, the series continues with a look at tricks that are specific to debuggers and emulators.

• What's the deal with sender authentication? Part 1: Sender authentication is a hot topic in the world of email. It has a number of uses and a number of suggested uses. Which ones work in real life? Which ones don't quite measure up? Can we use authentication to mitigate spoofing? Can we use it to guarantee authenticity? And how do we authenticate email, anyway? Terry Zink provides the answers to these questions and more.

• EICAR 2010: rainy days in Paris: Eddy Willems reports on the highlights of the 19th EICAR conference in a soggy Paris.
