Sets record of 45 straight Awards
Eset NOD32 has secured its 62nd VB100 award from Virus Bulletin, the world's leading independent antivirus software comparison testing group. ESET leads all antivirus software vendors with a record setting, 45 straight VB100 awards.
Virus Bulletin first introduced the VB100 award in 1998, and conducts several antivirus software comparatives every year, rotating platforms tested between Linux, Windows, Windows servers and Novell Netware.
This Virus Bulletin 100% test report was conducted on the Windows Server 2008 R2 platform. 33 antivirus software products participated in the tests, 24 succeeded with a 100% award and 9 failed.
In order to display the VB100 logo, the antivirus software must meet two criteria: (1) Demonstrate it detects all "In-the-Wild" viruses (viruses with known signatures), during both on-demand (you demand, it scans), and on-access (real time), scanning tests; and, (2) Generate no false positives when scanning a set of clean files.
Since the inception of the VB100 awards in 1998, ESET's NOD32 antivirus software continues to boast a success rate of over 97 percent - the industry's highest. Most antivirus vendors have success ratios in the 50 - 75 percent range across all operating systems.
"Detection rates were excellent, showing a continuation of the upward trend seen in the last few tests," said John Hawes, Virus Bulletin. "No false alarms were noted and the WildList was handled flawlessly, earning ESET yet another VB100 award."
ESET's NOD32 is powered by ThreatSense® technology, an advanced heuristics engine that enables proactive detection of malware not covered by even the most frequently updated signature-based products.
Unlike traditional approaches, ESET's antivirus software solutions decode and analyze executable code in real-time, using an emulated environment. By allowing malware to execute in a secure virtual world, ESET is able to clearly differentiate between benign files and even the most sophisticated and cleverly-disguised malware.
