Dr.Web test results recalculated.
Upon closer analysis of the latest set of VB100 test results VB has regrettably discovered some errors in the detection figures shown for
Doctor Web
‘s
Dr.Web
product. These errors were due to differences in the presentation of infections in certain filetypes within the
Dr.Web
logs, resulting in automated analysis tools failing to record the detections.
Further investigation and retesting has confirmed that the version of
Dr.Web
submitted for testing did in fact prove capable of detecting all samples in our ‘Macro’, ‘File Infector’, ‘Linux’ and ‘Worms and Bots’ testsets, scoring 100% in all of these categories.
However, a small number of samples in the ‘Polymorphic’ test set were correctly recorded as misses, and as the failure to detect three samples from the core WildList set is also confirmed, the product remains ineligible for the VB100 award.
VB extends its apologies to
Doctor Web
for these errors.
