Virus Bulletin are full time professional, independent antivirus experts and are widely respected within the antivirus industry for their rigorous comparative tests focusing on virus detection rates, scanning speed, and generation of false positives. To earn a Virus Bulletin 100% Award, an antivirus product must detect all of the current “In the Wild” viruses and not produce any false positives.

NOD32 is the only solution worldwide that has consistently never missed a single “In the Wild” worm or virus in this testing since May 1998 and holds the world record of Virus Bulletin 100% Awards, obtaining the 54th Award in January 2009.

The table below is based on the number of times all of these products have been tested periodically on various operating systems with Virus Bulletin since May 1998 which is when NOD32 was first submitted to them for testing.

Symantec are running second in this table although in the same testing, NOD32 scanning times are considerably faster, despite the fact NOD32 has a much smaller system footprint and uses far less system resource. Incidentally, Symantec also failed the 3 Virus Bulletin tests prior to NOD32 making its debut. That brings their overall success ratio down to 88.88% Where anti-virus software is concerned, consistency is the key to successful virus protection!
