Erratum: VB100 Linux comparative

Dr.Web results corrected.

Upon closer analysis of the latest set of VB100 test results (see VB, April 2007, p.11) VB has regrettably discovered some errors in the detection figures published for the Dr.Web product.

VB100

A re-run of the tests demonstrated that the product was, in fact, capable of detecting all samples in the macro, file infector, Linux and worms & bots test sets, scoring 100% in each of these categories. However, the failure to detect a small number of samples in the polymorphic test set was confirmed, as was the failure to detect three samples from the WildList test set.

VB extends its apologies to Doctor Web for these errors.
