Virus Bulletin (VB) conducted its latest test in August, posting the results this month. The security research company evaluated 26 anti-malware products (product submission deadline was August 22) for the 32-bit version of Windows Server 2008 SP2. The basic requirements for a product passing the test is detecting, both on demand and on access, in its default settings, all malware known to be "In the Wild" at the time of the review, and not detecting any false positives when scanning a set of clean files. The products were pitted against about 3,000 unique samples of malware that fall into four categories: WildList viruses, worms and bots, polymorphic viruses, and Trojans.
