Viruses on “In the Wild” list are no match for BitDefender Antivirus Security for Windows Server
Sydney, Australia. – February 20, 2008 – BitDefender®, an award-winning provider of antivirus software and data security solutions, today announced that BitDefender Security for Windows Servers 2.4.227 was awarded VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for its ability to detect 100% of viruses on the WildList. Tested by Virus Bulletin on Windows Server 2003 platform, BitDefender’s powerful security solution was proven to be one of the most secure antivirus security solutions available.
The VB100% certification is recognized as one of the industry’s definitive guides for the performance of antivirus products. The WildList Organization (http://www.wildlist.org) collects monthly virus reports from anti-virus experts around the world. The data from the reports is compiled to produce The WildList – a list of viruses currently spreading throughout a diverse user population. A virus that is reported by two or more of the WildList reporters will appear in the top-half of the list and is deemed to be 'In the Wild'.
Virus Bulletin magazine tests the leading antivirus solutions against viruses which appear on the ‘In the Wild’ list. Only antivirus solutions that achieve full protection from the latest viruses are considered for the VB100% certification.
“BitDefender products are proven to have some of the highest detection rates in the industry,” said Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender’s chief technology officer. “We are thrilled to receive another VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin, this time for BitDefender Security for Windows Servers, proving yet again that BitDefender provides proactive detection that goes well beyond the capabilities of current-day heuristics, providing the ability to protect users from known and unknown threats.”
