October 2009 Information Security

Excellent scores achieved in October’s 2009 Microsoft Server 2008 test.

BitDefender announced that BitDefender Security for File Servers was awarded VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for its ability to detect 100% of viruses on the WildList with no false positives. The outstanding level of malicious program detection without any false positives has brought BitDefender Security for File Servers another well-earned VB100 award which further proves the depth and accuracy of our antivirus technology, while at the same time ensuring customer peace of mind. The October 2009 Virus Bulletin comparative review assessed products from multiple security vendors specifically for the Microsoft Server 2008 platform. 

Virus Bulletin provides PC users with a regular source of intelligence about computer viruses, in addition to the prevention, detection, and the removal of malicious software following an attack. Virus Bulletin offers impartial advice on the many aspects of antivirus security to their readers, while conducting independent comparative testing of the market leading anti-virus technology and solutions. The testing methodology includes virus, spyware and rootkit detection rates, as well as the scanning speed of files sets that are known to be clean.

In order to display the VB100 logo, an antivirus product must have demonstrated to meet or exceed Virus Bulletin’s stringent testing standards in the product’s default state, including:

* The detection of all 'in the wild' viruses currently spreading throughout the world’s diverse user population.

* Maintains detection rates using both on-demand and on-access scanning.

* Generates no 'false positives' when scanning a set of clean files.

“BitDefender is dedicated to providing clients with superior protection from viruses, spyware and rootkits, while lowering the burden of administrating a server software solution,” said Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender’s chief technology officer. “Receiving VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for BitDefender Security for File Servers further proves our dedication to fulfilling that promise.”
