Do you have a link to one of these tests?
I don't have much onhand, but I can remember looking at the virus bulletin,
http://www.virusbtn.com, page when I first started using NOD32, at the time I think nod32 had the most vb100 awards - "
http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/about/100use.xmlA VB 100% award denotes that the product in question showed,
in its default mode, 100 per cent detection of
In the Wild test samples and no false positives in a selection of clean files. " Nod32 was supposed to be the top rated anti-virus according to VB site.
Of course this was before I realized that their test sample apparently only contains the top 100 In the wild Virus'. So that makes it kind of misleading
I don't have any links, but I also was on another page a while ago, they took a few sample sets with various virus' in them and rated NOD32 at 90% with 384 Infected files, 84% with 500 infected files, and the % never went below 66% iirc, but it did continue to drop little by little and more and more different virus' were added. They also mentioned on this site that alot of anti-virus developers put special care into being able to achieve the vb100 award since that seems to be an industry standard.
Obviously I don't know the legitimacy of this site, so maybe I'm wrong or misinterpreting.
Sorry i don't have more for you, a few hours ago I could have just gone into my history and pulled out the sites, unforuntatly that is not possible at this moment.
