F-Secure wins VB 100% award
p2pnet.net News:- “F-Secure Anti-Virus 5.43 has been awarded the VB 100% award in the February 2005 edition of the Virus Bulletin magazine,” writes ever-alert F-Secure research director Mikko Hypponen.
“There were technical testing problems at Virus Bulletin, so the print edition of the magazine actually lists us as failing the test,” he says, “which is wrong.
“One antivirus vendor from UK (which we shall not name here but it’s Sophos) even put out a press release in the meanwhile stressing how we failed in the test.
“But we didn’t, ha-ha!
“Virus Bulletin tested 28 different anti-virus products for their detection rates against in-the-wild viruses. We have long and proven track record of receiving VB 100% awards on different platforms.
“So there.”
