The Wildlist - viruses out in the wild

The WildList Organization collects monthly virus reports from anti-virus experts around the world. The data from the reports are compiled to produce The WildList - a list of those viruses currently spreading throughout a diverse user population. A virus that is reported by two or more of the WildList reporters will appear in the top-half of the list and is deemed to be 'In the Wild'.

In recent times, the list has been used by Virus Bulletin and other anti-virus product testers as the definitive guide to the viruses found in the real world.

An anti-virus product is expected to score 100% detection against this group of viruses. The WildList homepage can be found at http://www.wildlist.org.

The latest available wildlist can be found here.

VB100 certification

VB100 With another epic haul of 54 products to test this month, the VB test team could have done without the bad behaviour of a number of products: terrible product design, lack of accountability for activities, blatant false alarms in major software, numerous problems detecting the WildList set, and some horrendous instability under pressure. Happily, there were also some good performances to balance things out. John Hawes has the details.
