Virus Bulletin has released their latest VB100 awards
results for April. Many more
participants this time, since the test was done on Windows XP. The last test was done on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
Not too much excitement.
Some “biggies” failed to receive a VB100 this go around. F-Secure and Sophos both failed to receive a VB100
award. TrustPort, who typically does
well, on Virus Bulletin’s RAP test, failed as well. Trend Micro has been a no
show for years. Symantec Norton has been a no show for the
last several tests. The usual freemium
suspects, including Symantec’s PC Tools subsidiary, all participated.
Results from this should be looked at in conjunction with
tests from other test groups such as www.av-test.org
and www.av-comparatives.org . Also, keep in mind it’s not how the company
has performed on the VB100 test over years, it’s only the last couple of years
that are relevant.
VB100 Test Methodology
The purpose of the VB100 comparative is to provide insight
into the relative performance of the solutions taking part in the tests,
covering as wide a range of areas as possible within the limitations of time
and available resources. More details
