Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against viruses,
spyware and spam, today announced that Sophos Anti-Virus has been
awarded the VB 100% award by Virus Bulletin magazine. This is the
31st time Sophos Anti-Virus has won a VB 100% award, confirming its
position as one of the most powerful virus protection products
available.
Virus Bulletin tested 25 different anti-virus products for their
detection rates, lack of false alarms, and speed of scanning on the
Windows NT 4 Workstation platform. Sophos successfully detected all
of the in-the-wild and polymorphic viruses with no false
alarms.
All Sophos products use the same technology to protect against
viruses, worms, spyware, Trojan horses and other malware, ensuring
consistently high detection rates across all platforms.
About the Virus Bulletin 100% award
The Virus Bulletin 100% awards recognise those products best
able to detect viruses known to be 'in the wild'. Unlike some other
similar-sounding schemes, Virus Bulletin uses the most up-to-date
WildList in its tests. This means that products that are 'up with
the game' are the ones most likely to be granted VB 100%
awards.
Sophos is headquartered in Boston, US and Oxford, UK. More information is available at www.sophos.com.
