Virus Bulletin February VB100 Awards - 2012

Virus Bulletin has released their latest VB100 awards results. Only about a dozen companies were in the test. The tests were done on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, hence the smaller number of participants. McAfee, Symantec, and Trend Micro didn’t have products in the text. Products not passing were from Kaspersky (this is an incentive to get you to visit the site to see who passed!). Bravilna to those who received a VB100 award! Hint, three of the vendors begin with an A.
