Sophos Endpoint Security & Control wins VB100 award on Windows XP SP3
Virus Bulletin confirms Sophos's detection rates on Windows XP SP3
Sophos Anti-Virus has won the VB100 award again
Sophos, a world leader in IT security and control, today
announced that Sophos Endpoint Security and Control has been
awarded the accolade of VB100 in the August 2008 edition of Virus
Bulletin magazine. This is the 42nd time that Sophos has won a
prestigious VB100 award, confirming its ability to detect 100% of
the viruses in the wild, and its position as one of the most
powerful anti-malware products available.
Virus Bulletin tested 35 different anti-virus products for their
detection rates, lack of false alarms, and speed of scanning on
Windows XP Service Pack 3. Sophos successfully detected all of the
in-the-wild viruses with no false alarms, outperforming a number of
other vendors.
"As an enterprise-focused product Sophos provides the most
in-depth configuration anyone could ask for, all of which is easily
accessible," said John Hawes, technical consultant at Virus
Bulletin. "Speeds were good and detection excellent; a VB100 award
is earned with ease."
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 operating systems.
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 VB100 awards. More
