The April issue of Virus Bulletin has been published, including the results for VB100 on Windows XP: An impressive range of 39 products from 34 different vendors were submitted for the Windows XP comparative review, with the regular well-known brands accompanied by an interesting set of less well-known names and a handful of newcomers. This month also saw the first major set of results from VB's new RAP tests putting products' reactive and proactive detection abilities to the test. John Hawes has all the details, the synopsis says. Detailed results are at virusbtn.com (subscription needed).
