BullGuard earns top rating in on-demand detection of malicious software
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – May 26, 2011 – AV-Comparatives, an independent anti-virus test organization, has officially released test results for BullGuard Internet Security 10 and awarded the brand its highest approval rating of Advanced+. BullGuard earned near perfect scores in “On Demand” malware detection rate tests, which determine the standalone effectiveness of anti-virus engines. Along with its superior detection capabilities, the security suite showcased its reliability with an extremely low false alarm rate.
AV-Comparatives’ On Demand malware detection tests utilize a test-set that contains about 403,000 malware samples from the six months prior to assessment. The tests account for both detection capabilities and reliability, including a product’s tendency to flag clean files as infected. Based on results in these categories, AV-Comparative then certifies anti-virus programs in four levels: Tested, Standard, Advanced and Advanced+. BullGuard’s cumulative Advance+ rating outscored anti-virus products from ESET, Avast, AVG, Microsoft, Norton and Panda.
“BullGuard has consistently earned top malware detection scores from independent testing organizations including AV-Comparatives and AV-Test. The secret behind these outstanding results is the structure we have chosen for our security suite. We carefully establish a maximum security environment with an architecture based on layered defenses,” said BullGuard CTO Claus Villumsen. “The layers include a variety of web scanning, behavior blocking and traditional signature detection tools. Each layer doesn’t have to be 100% effective on its own; if malicious code gets through one layer, it will be caught by the next.”
BullGuard’s AV-Comparatives test results are published on the AV-Comparatives web site, along with the results for the rest of the industry.
