The award tests if anti-virus software finds and removes all presented
viruses considered to be "in the wild". This includes Trojans, spyware, spam,
rogue diallers and worms.
To earn VB100 certification, products must detect all the viruses contained
in the Wildlist test set without generating any false alarms when scanning a set
of clean files.
The Vista version of AVG Anti-Virus was also approved by
ISCA
Labs.
However, as reported in Computeractive when Vista was launched, users of the
company’s firewall application must wait for the Vista-ready version of the
product, which is not yet ready.
Larry Bridwell, global security strategist at Grisoft said: “[Although] the
majority of our products have now been awarded Windows Vista certification, AVG
Internet Security, due to the firewall, remains an exception and we are
finalising work on a new, improved firewall version which will be Vista
compatible.
“All users will be provided automatically with an update to the new Vista
compatible version as soon as it is available," he said.
