F-Secure Anti-Virus awarded VB100 recognition

Helsinki, Finland - June 14, 2002

F-Secure's security product, F-Secure Anti-Virus version 5.40, was tested at the Virus Bulletin magazine. The product detects viruses 100% and was granted the prestigious "VB100%" award.

"The independent test results of the Virus Bulletin magazine demonstrate once again that F-Secure is the technology leader in virus protection", says Mikael Albrecht, Product Manager, Anti-Virus. "F-Secure's daily up-dates, and during virus intensive days even more frequent up-dates, ensure that all wild viruses are detected. In addition, our scanning engines' heurestic features find variants of viruses already before out in the wild and among other features, form a powerful detection combination. The VB100 award is essential because it measures the antivirus products' core functionality, the ability to detect viruses", Albrecht continues.

The Virus Bulletin 100% awards recognize anti-virus products best able to detect viruses known to be 'in the wild' as reported by the WildList Organization. Virus Bulletin uses the most up-to-date WildList in its tests. This means that products that are updated most frequently are the ones most likely to be granted VB 100% awards.

The WildList a list of viruses known to be causing real-world incidents - is produced by a diverse group of over 55 qualified volunteers all over the world. F-Secure Corporation is one the parties reporting to WildList Organization.
