BitDefender Business Network Application Receives VB100% Certification

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 13, 2009 – BitDefender Security for File Servers has been awarded the VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for its ability to detect 100 per cent of viruses on the WildList, with no false positives.

The VB100 award further proves the depth and accuracy of BitDefender’s antivirus technology, while at the same time ensuring customer peace of mind. The October 2009 Virus Bulletin comparative review assessed products from multiple security vendors specifically for the Microsoft Server 2008 platform.

Virus Bulletin provides PC users with a regular source of intelligence about computer viruses, in addition to the prevention, detection, and the removal of malicious software following an attack. It also offers impartial advice on the many aspects of antivirus security, while conducting independent comparative testing of the market leading anti-virus technology and solutions. The testing methodology includes virus, spyware and rootkit detection rates, as well as the scanning speed of files sets that are known to be clean.

In order to display the VB100 logo, an antivirus product must have met or exceeded Virus Bulletin’s stringent testing standards in the product’s default state, including:

•   The detection of all “in the wild” viruses currently spreading throughout the world’s diverse user population.
•   Maintains detection rates using both on-demand and on-access scanning.
•   Generates no “false positives” when scanning a set of clean files.


“BitDefender is dedicated to providing clients with superior protection from viruses, spyware and rootkits, while lowering the burden of administrating a server software solution,” said Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender’s chief technology officer. “Receiving VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for BitDefender Security for File Servers further proves our dedication to fulfilling that promise.”
