Sophos Anti-Virus receives West Coast Checkmark for 100% detection of in-the-wild viruses yet again
Sophos announced today that its flagship product, Sophos Anti-Virus, has yet again achieved West Coast Labs Checkmark certification.
Sophos Anti-Virus version 3.66 for Windows 95/98 and Sophos Anti-Virus version 3.66 for Windows NT Server have again successfully been awarded Anti-Virus Checkmark level 1, providing further independent verification that Sophos is capable of protecting against all known 'in-the-wild' viruses in both on-demand and on-access modes.
The Checkmark system has been developed by West Coast Labs, an independent research and test centre. It provides a reliable means of authenticating those products which users can consistently rely upon to provide the highest quality anti-virus solutions.
"It's essential that businesses can protect themselves against the in-the-wild virus threats," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "We are delighted to have the high quality of Sophos's products confirmed once more by an independent testing body."
