VB100 comparative testing is a regular independent comparison of anti-malware solutions.

The VB100 award is a certification of products which meet the basic standards required to be recognised as legitimate and properly functioning anti-malware solutions.



To display a VB100 logo, a product must:

- Prove it can detect 100% of malware samples listed as 'In the Wild' by the WildList Organization.

- Generate no false positives when scanning an extensive test set of clean samples.

- All this must be done with default, out-of-the-box settings in the VB lab environment.
