Virus Bulletin is an independent certification body headquartered in the UK. The group recently released the results of its June tests, and we’re happy to report that Emsisoft Anti-Malware has once again been awarded the VB100!

The VB100 testing process

The VB100 award certifies that a security product can provide a certain level of protection against modern malware.

To earn the VB100, a product has to pass a range of tests. The tests are performed on a physical computer or virtual machine with specifications similar to those you would find on a typical business PC.

During the tests, the security products are exposed to a few thousand malicious samples curated from various places, including:

* The WildList set: A set of well-vetted malware samples curated by the WildList Organization.

* The AMTSO RTTL set: A continuous feed of new samples collected by experts from around the world and stored by the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization.

* The Diversity set: A set of samples collected by Virus Bulletin.

The tests also include a false positive component, which is designed to test how effectively a product can distinguish malicious files from safe files. The products are exposed to a subset of 100,000 files taken from the Clean set, which is a collection of 400,000 benign files harvested from popular software downloads.

To be awarded VB100 certification, a security product has to meet the following criteria:

* Detect at least 99.95 percent of the malicious samples.

* Identify no more than 0.01 percent of the clean samples as malicious.

The results

We’re delighted to announce that Emsisoft Anti-Malware flew through the test and was consequently awarded the VB100. Our software achieved a perfect score in all categories, detecting 100 percent of the 2,236 malware samples used in the tests while generating no false positives.
