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.
