Virus Bulletin is an independent security information portal and certification body headquartered in the U.K. In February 2020, the organization conducted a series of tests designed to measure the detection capabilities of endpoint anti-malware solutions.

We participated in the latest round of tests and we’re delighted to report that Emsisoft Anti-Malware has yet again earned VB100 certification!

The tests

To earn VB100 certification, security solutions must be able to demonstrate that they can reliably detect malicious files.

The tests are performed on physical computers or virtual machines with specifications similar to those you would find in a typical business environment. Each security product is installed with default settings on a clean instance of Windows.

During the tests, each security product is exposed to thousands of malicious samples curated by researchers. To determine how accurately a product can distinguish a malicious file from a safe file, the products are also exposed to a set of 100,000 clean files taken from popular software downloads.

To earn the VB100, a security product must meet the following criteria:

* Detect at least 99.5 percent of malicious samples.
* Generate no more than 0.01 percent false positives.

The results

We’re happy to report that Emsisoft Anti-Malware was once again awarded VB100 certification. Our flagship software detected 99.83 percent of the 2,948 malicious samples without generating any false positives along the way.
