VB100 - Windows XP Professional SP3

The following chart shows the RAP results obtained over the last four
tests, with average reactive scores plotted against average proactive scores for each product. (The detection figures from any test during
which a product generated false positives are omitted (for that product) from the average calculations.)
This chart is updated on a bimonthly basis. Virus Bulletin subscribers have access to the detailed results
of the RAP tests, including a per-test RAP quadrant.
