Independent research and
test centre West Coast Labs has awarded Sophos Anti-Virus for

worms and Trojans.

Checkmark Level 2 Anti Virus Certification. For this leading AV
technology developer, this is a clear commitment on their part to

independent confirmation that we have succeeded from such a
reputable source is always welcome" said Carole Theriault, security
consultant at Sophos.
The Checkmark system has been developed by West Coast Labs, an
