VIRUSfighter Receives Top Industry Accolades With Virus Bulletin’s Coveted VB100 Award

BOCA RATON, FL - April 26, 2010 - SPAMfighter today announces that its antivirus software offering, VIRUSfighter, is the recipient of the highly respected VB100 Award. VIRUSfighter was selected from sixty other antivirus products recently tested by Virus Bulletin.

The new VB100 award-winner protects PC users by preventing viruses and malware, old and new, from destroying computer data and programs. Currently being used by over two million people worldwide, VIRUSfighter is easy to install, runs discreetly and continuously monitors for new threats. Should a new virus or malware outbreak occur, VIRUSfighter's very frequent updates are made available and automatically installed to keep users safe.

In VB's largest ever VB100 comparative review, a total of 60 products were put to the test on Windows XP, with a third failing to achieve VB100 certification. The coveted award is given to antivirus products that pass a formal Virus Bulletin comparative review process at the Virus Bulletin test lab.

According to Virus Bulletin, the following criteria are taken into account during testing:
- Detection (both on demand and on-access), with default settings, all malware on the published Wild List at the time of the review
- Generation of false positives when scanning a set of clean files
- Measurements of scanning speed
- On-access overhead

"We're pleased to have been granted significant industry recognition with the VB100 Award for VIRUSfighter as we believe in providing cost-effective, reliable and easy-to-use antivirus protection on a global scale," states Martin Thorborg, co-founder of SPAMfighter.
