Virus Bulletin Results/WIN XP/June 2006

There's some mistake made by Virus Bulletin, so avast! finally gets the latest VB100% Award, June 2006 Windows XP.

False positive reduction

Amendment to VB's June Windows XP comparative review.

In Virus Bulletin's June 2006 Windows XP comparative review (see VB, June 2006, p.11), VB reported that Alwil's product avast! had generated three false positives during scanning of the clean test set. After discussions with the developers and further investigation of the files, VB now considers that the files in question were inappropriate for inclusion in the clean test set. The files have been removed and VB extends its apologies to Alwil. With a faultless performance across the In the Wild test sets and an admirable performance elsewhere, a VB 100% is belatedly awarded to avast!. No other products were affected.
