Viruses on �In the Wild� list are no match for BitDefender Antivirus Security for Windows Server

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. � February 21, 2008 � BitDefender�, an award-winning provider of antivirus software and data security solutions, today announced that BitDefender Security for Windows Servers 2.4.227 was awarded VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin for its ability to detect 100% of viruses on the WildList. Tested by Virus Bulletin on Windows Server 2003 platform, BitDefender�s powerful security solution was proven to be one of the most secure antivirus security solutions available.

The VB100% certification is recognized as one of the industry�s definitive guides for the performance of antivirus products. The WildList Organization (http://www.wildlist.org) collects monthly virus reports from anti-virus experts around the world. The data from the reports is compiled to produce The WildList � a list of viruses currently spreading throughout a diverse user population. A virus that is reported by two or more of the WildList reporters will appear in the top-half of the list and is deemed to be 'In the Wild'.

Virus Bulletin magazine tests the leading antivirus solutions against viruses which appear on the �In the Wild� list. Only antivirus solutions that achieve full protection from the latest viruses are considered for the VB100% certification.

�BitDefender products are proven to have some of the highest detection rates in the industry,� said Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender�s chief technology officer. �We are thrilled to receive another VB100% certification from Virus Bulletin, this time for BitDefender Security for Windows Servers, proving yet again that BitDefender provides proactive detection that goes well beyond the capabilities of current-day heuristics, providing the ability to protect users from known and unknown threats.�
