[QUOTE="DDE_Server, post: 842532, member: 65727"] In October 2019, the independent security experts over at Virus Bulletin carried out a series of tests designed to evaluate the detection capabilities of various endpoint anti-malware solutions. The results have just been released and we’re happy to announce that Emsisoft Anti-Malware flew through the tests and has once again been awarded VB100 certification! [SIZE=6][B]What is the VB100?[/B][/SIZE] To earn the VB100, a security product has to pass the Certification Test. The tests are performed on physical computers or virtual machines with specifications similar to those you would expect to find on a typical business PC. Each security product is installed with default settings on a clean instance of Windows. The tests involve exposing the security products to thousands of malicious samples curated by various organizations, including the WildList Organization, the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization and Virus Bulletin. To determine how accurately a product can distinguish a malicious file from a safe file, the products are also exposed to a set of 100,000 clean files taken from popular software downloads. To be awarded the VB100, a product has to achieve two things: [LIST] [*]Detect at least 99.95 percent of the malicious files. [*]Mistake no more than 0.01 percent of the clean files as malicious. [/LIST] [SIZE=6][B]How did Emsisoft do?[/B][/SIZE] We’re happy to report that Emsisoft Anti-Malware excelled in the latest round of tests. Our flagship software detected 100 percent of the 1,487 malicious files without generating any false positives and was consequently awarded the VB100.
