VietNamNet Bridge – The software verification organization Virus Bulletin has granted its VB100 certificate to Vietnam’s BKAV anti-virus software.

To get this certificate, the tested software must discover 100 percent of sample viruses, which are collection worldwide and defined as dangerous by experts.

Virus Bulletin manager John Hawes highly praised the Vietnamese software’s stability.

BKAV, Vietnam’s top network security organization, sent its BKAV Home 2009 edition to Virus Bulletin for testing twice earlier this year but it failed to get the certificate. The BKAV 2010 version, which uses cloud-computing technology and has up to 6.4 million sample viruses, passed the Virus Bulletin’s test.

A total of 54 antivirus software programs participated in this test and over one third of them didn’t pass the test.

VB100 was introduced in 1998 by Virus Bulletin. Virus Bulletin’s antivirus software tests are globally recognized.
