A total of 2246 viruses were missed by the nine participating products in the August Comparative Review. NOD32 was the only product which did not miss a single virus in any of the four tests sets used.
NOD32's combined hard disk scan rate of the executable, zipped executable, OLE2, and zipped OLE2 files was by far the highest. NOD32 was more than 6.9 times faster than NAI McAfee Netshield to scan all files, for example ... yet McAfee did not receive the award.
NOD32 continues to be the only product on the market which has not missed a single "In the Wild" virus since its first submission to the Virus Bulletin test labs in May 1998, and has maintained its stranglehold on the record number of Virus Bulletin 100% Awards.
Symantec have no version capable of working with Novell NetWare 6, and they were allowed to withdraw their Norton AntiVirus v7.60 Corporate Edition version product from the August Comparative Review due to "some problems". Symantec's strategic withdrawal means that NOD32 has again increased its lead over its largest competitor in terms of the number of VB100 Awards won.
In the past, some people may have questioned the seriousness and validity of Eset's bold advertising statement :
"You can have a virus or an Antivirus. Make your choice NOD32."
These latest test results from Virus Bulletin, the world's #1 independent antivirus testing authority, prove it's not just hype and Snake Oil !!!
