So Did Your Anti-Virus Program Past The Test ????

Some of the major computer Security giants failed. This test is very thorough and pretty much the recognised industry standard.
Here is a link to one of the articles WWW Link
To get the full details of the results you need to register at the VIB site.
It's pleasing to see Microsoft pass as a lot of people have knocked their Security efforts but to see Kaspersky fail and Sophos fail(big business player) is surprising.

I'm with the Jags fan on this one. ESET works great for me on XP and Vista.

Looks like mine passed. I run Symantec Corporate edition. Fairly small footprint and does a good job at protecting

I didn't sign up to look. Does anyone know if the virii they tested for are even in the wild?
Just seems a bit odd to test for old virii. Wouldn't a better test be for current threats?

So ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.0.462.000 uses Kaspersky and it hasn't failed me yet either. I would like to download some of the viruses or trojans they say it failed on. I would make a friendly wager for a Christmas cookie that ZA would catch it.
