Emsisoft awarded VB100 certification in latest Virus Bulletin test

[Deleted member 178]

The good people over at Virus Bulletin, an information security portal and antivirus testing group, recently announced the results of their latest VB100 Comparative Review. We’re happy to report that Emsisoft Anti-Malware was awarded the VB100 certification!

Qualifying for VB100 certification
Unlike other antivirus tests that have tiered awards depending on a product’s performance, there are no silver or bronze medals when it comes to the VB100 – you either get the certification or you don’t. To qualify for VB100 certification, an antivirus product has to be able to:

• Block ALL files on the WildList. The WildList is Virus Bulletin’s regularly updated and carefully curated list of known malicious software that has been seen in the wild.
• Generate zero false positives. The Virus Bulletin team put together a set of 450,000 benign files taken from widely used programs. If an antivirus product incorrectly detects any of the files as malicious, it is ineligible for VB100 certification.

The latest round of testing took place on systems running clean, fully updated installations of both Windows 7 and Windows 10. Throughout the testing, all products had internet access to allow for cloud-based scanning, apart from during the ‘reactive and proactive’ component of the test, which measures how effectively a product can proactively detect malware when disconnected from the internet.

VB results are worthless, I always ignore them.

the interesting characteristic in VB is that they are strict on FPs, you have one you fail.

Congratulations to Emsisoft, and also to G Data, which got the highest score. About VB, I rely more on them than on the AV-Test and Comparatives.

I like Emsisoft but this is no big deal at all.

Apart from VB100 award, Emsisoft is the proof that it is not necessary to be a Cybersec giant with thousands of employees, to get success.
