Check the following websites for up-to-date certification results for this product:

• Checkmark
• ICSA Labs
• VB100%

The majority of certification tests are performed using Wildlist (ItW) testing. Wildlist (ItW) testing only determines a given product's ability to detect a relatively small number of viruses for which samples have been provided and the virus has been known for some time - generally at least a month or more.It is also important to note that certification testing is paid for by the vendor. For various reasons, a vendor may choose to submit to only one or two of the certifying agencies. Thus, the absence of certification may not mean the product failed - it may simply have never been submitted. However, if a product has received no certification, or relatively few in comparison to its peers, this fact should not be taken lightly.

Independent tests are just that - independent. No money exchanges hands between vendor and tester, products are not re-tested multiple times in order to achieve a pass, and testing is extended beyond the mere Wildlist.Two independent testing agencies distinguish themselves by offering extensive Zoo and ItW testing, as well as specific examination of a product's ability to detect certain classes or types of threats.

• AV-Test.org - led by Andreas Marx, AV-Test.org is the agency relied upon by this site for its Top Picks and by notable German magazines PC-Welt and ComputerBild for their antivirus reviews.
• University of Hamburg - the VTC Test Team is headed by Klaus Brunnstein and, as is the case with AV-Test.org, incorporates both viral and non-viral malware samples in the tests to more closely approximate threats a user might typically encounter.
