VB100 NetWare update

Updated results for VB100 NetWare comparative.

VB

regrets that some erroneous results were recorded for

Symantec AntiVirus 10

in last month’s

comparative review on

Novell NetWare 6.5


. The product was stated to have missed five samples from the polymorphic set – however it has since been discovered that, as a result of file-copying errors, several corrupted samples were included in the test set used to test the

Symantec

product.

After removing the corrupted samples and retesting the product,

Symantec AntiVirus 10

was found to detect all files in the set, giving it a faultless 100% detection rating across all test sets.

Virus Bulletin

apologises both to readers and to

Symantec

for this error. Measures will be introduced into the VB100 testing process to ensure test sets are kept intact for all tests in future. No other vendors were affected.
