Virus Bulletin 100% Awards 1999
In 1998 the well-respected magazine Virus Bulletin started issuing a "100% award" to the virus control products which find 100% of all viruses "In the Wild" in the magazine's comparative tests. Presently the test is carried out every second month.
Virus Bulletin says this about this award:
"The Virus Bulletin 100% awards recognize those products best able to detect viruses known to be 'in the wild'. Unlike some other similar-sounding schemes, Virus Bulletin uses the most up-to-date WildList in its tests. This means that products that are 'up with the game' are the the ones most likely to be granted VB 100% awards."
