Slatterz writes "It seems no-one can agree on a universal set of tests for rating anti-virus software, with Eugene Kaspersky the latest to weigh-in on the topic, criticising the well-known Virus Bulletin 100. Kaspersky is one of several big anti-virus brands to fall foul of the VB100 tests, reportedly failing to pass a recent test of security software on Windows Server 2008, along with F-Secure and Computer Associates. At Kaspersky, bloggers have pointed out that they don't focus on detecting PoCs, calling it a "dead end", and saying their antivirus database focuses on "real threats and exploits." "I don't want to say it's rubbish," Kaspersky told PC Authority. "But the security experts don't pay attention to these tests. It doesn't reflect the real level of protection.""
