Two international certifications to VirusBuster

In a competition of a large number of antivirus products designed for the Windows Vista Business Edition SP2 platform, VirusBuster's technology won yet another "Virus Bulletin 100%" (VB100) award for the Hungary-based IT security vendor. The company also obtained a certification from ICSA Labs.

Virus Bulletin's most recent comparative review of antimalware products covered solutions running on the Windows Vista Business Edition SP2 platform, with as many as 54 programs running in the race. Not only did the VirusBuster's flagship product, VirusBuster Professional 6.2.54, pass the test with excellent performance, but many other winning solutions were also based on VirusBuster's.antivirus engine.

VirusBuster's software demonstrated 100% efficiency when tested against viruses in the wild (ITW), Testers praised the product's interface, which they found "remarkably solid and well behaved". As they pointed out, "scanning speeds and detection rates alike were solid and decent".

Virus Bulletin (www.virusbtn.com), an independent medium of the computer security industry, has carried out comparative testing of antivirus products for over a decade. The first VB100 awards were issued in 1998, and, since then, they have gained worldwide reputation. The tests focus on virus detection rates and scanning speeds, as well as at how each product fares when scanning a set files that are known to be clean.

In order to win the VB100 award, the product tested must detect all in the wild viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning, but must not generate any false positives when scanning a set of clean files. Once again, VirusBuster successfully met these high expectations, and its technology also helped other vendors to this prestigious certification.

Separately, VirusBuster Professional also passed the "Anti-Virus Desktop/Server v4.0 detection" test of ICSA Labs. ICSA Labs (www.icsalabs.com), an independent division of Verizon Business, has been providing credible, independent, third party product assurance for end users and enterprises for the last 20 years. ICSA Labs has provided vendor-neutral testing and certification for hundreds of security products and solutions for many of the world's top security product developers and service providers.
