"We're delighted to have further independent verification of the quality of Sophos's anti-virus products," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, "This award, combined with our successes recently in PC Magazine and Secure Computing, has been a terrific start to 2000."
About the Virus Bulletin 100% award
The Virus Bulletin 100% awards recognize 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.
