Virus bulletin tests in-the-wild viruses. Their methodoloy is clearly stated in their publication. http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/about/index.xml this url states what they test for i.e. in-the-wild viruses. This url http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/about/100procedure.xml goes into virus bulletin's testing methodology in more details. here is another url http://www.virusbtn.com/magazine/archives/pdf/2002/200206.pdf which is a journal (most issues of their journal are available online here, http://www.virusbtn.com/magazine/archives ) they publish in which the results of their virus tests are espoused. also they discuss security related issues in each jouranl issue. I will also tell you this. I own Nod32 and am not making money from these statements nor any other benefits. However, we use Nod32 at work for our IIS 5.x web servers and its wonderful. Nod32 not only detects all in-the-wild viruses but it does it fast. Nod32 scanned 260 gigs in 15 minutes!! hope this helps -- Best regards, rick ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
