History and profile
Virus Bulletin was founded in 1989
Technical experts from anti-virus vendors have written articles for the magazine, which also conducts comparison tests of the detection rates of anti-virus software. Products which manage to detect 100% of the viruses in the wild, without false alarms, are given the VB100 award.[5]
The magazine holds an annual conference (in late September or early October) for computer security professionals.[6] In recent years both magazine and conference have branched out to discuss anti-spam and other security issues as well as malware. Notable previous speakers include Mikko Hyppönen,[7] Eugene Kaspersky[8] and Graham Cluley, as well as representatives from all major anti-virus vendors.[9]
Virus Bulletin was a founder member of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization and remains a member today.
