Dr.Web Linux VB100 update
Dr.Web test results recalculated.
Upon closer analysis of the latest set of VB100 test results VB has regrettably discovered some errors in the detection figures shown
for Doctor Web's Dr.Web product. These errors were due to differences in the presentation of
infections in certain filetypes within the Dr.Web logs, resulting in automated analysis tools failing to
record the detections.
Further investigation and retesting has confirmed that the version of Dr.Web submitted
for testing did in fact prove capable of detecting all samples in our 'Macro', 'File Infector', 'Linux' and 'Worms and
Bots' testsets, scoring 100% in all of these categories.
However, a small number of samples in the 'Polymorphic' test set were correctly recorded as misses, and as the
failure to detect three samples from the core WildList set is also confirmed, the product remains ineligible for
the VB100 award.
VB extends its apologies to Doctor Web for these errors.
