Virus Bulletin, an independent medium of the computer security industry, has carried out comparative testing of anti-virus products for nearly a decade. The first VB100 awards were issued in 1998, and, since then, they have gained worldwide reputation. The tests focus on virus detection rates and scanning speed, as well as at how each product fares when scanning a set files that are known to be clean.
The latest review of security programs, for the first time in the Windows environment, also included the so called Reactive And Proactive (RAP) test, which checks the ability of anti-malware products to detect and accurately identify new and unknown malware samples.

In order to win the VB100 award, the product tested must detect all in the wild (ITW) viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning, but must not generate any false positives when scanning a set of clean files. Once again, VirusBuster Professional successfully met these high expectations.
