Anti-malware scanning platform detected all known in-the-wild viruses with no false positives
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Authentium today announced its Command Anti-Malware v5 has passed Virus Bulletin`s VB100
test, and has been awarded the coveted VB100 logo. In Virus Bulletin`s testing, Command Anti-Malware demonstrated exceptional detection
accuracy, identifying 100 percent of known in-the-wild viruses, and generating zero false positives. This achievement certifies Command
as one of the industry`s most secure anti-malware platforms.
Conducted independently by Virus Bulletin magazine, the VB100 test is a widely respected comparative evaluation of anti-virus products
and technologies. The test focuses on virus detection rates and scanning speed, as well as looking at how products fare when scanning a
set of files known to be clean. To display the VB100 logo, an anti-virus product must demonstrate it detects all in-the-wild viruses
during Virus Bulletin`s on-demand and on-access scanning, and generates no false positives when scanning a set of clean files. Complete
details of the VB100 test procedure can be found on Virus Bulletin`s Web site.
"Achieving the VB100 award is proof positive that Command`s technology is among the best of the best," says Helmuth Freericks, Chief
Science Officer of Authentium. "With the exponential growth in malware, it is a great accomplishment to provide protection against 1,005
in-the-wild viruses."
Command v5, released in November 2008, provides real-time, end-point protection against viruses, spyware, Trojans, and other threats at
low cost. Its industry-leading anti-malware engine boasts one of the largest published databases of virus definitions, with more than 1
million malicious agents identified and blocked. Command has fast scanning speed, excellent real-time performance, and one of the smallest
footprints among anti-malware software, causing minimal impact on system resources. And with its clean user interface, automatic updates,
and easy local or central deployment, users can "set and forget" Command, while gaining powerful malware protection.
