Virus Bulletin website tested 37 different Vista-based security programs to see which could manage to reach the level of threat detection required for ‘VB100′ Certification. Out of 37 tested, 17 failed the tests, including products from McAfee, Sophos, and Trend Micro. VB100 test sets very high detection bar of 100 percent of a subset of malware defined by a malware collection known as the ‘WildList’. Programs must also, using default settings, avoid false positives - false flagging files as malware infected when they are in fact innocent. While McAfee, Sophos and Trend detected 99.99% of the WildList, other programs fell some way short of this ‘almost’ status. Doctor Web reached only 95.21%, and Security Coverage PC Live managed just 84.35%. Microsoft’s criticized Windows Live OneCare and Forefront Client Security both hit the VB100 100 percent mark.
