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.■
