Adware Report: Microsoft's Vista A/V Fails Certification

Microsoft's much-hyped anti-virus solution, Live OneCare along with three other Vista AV products failed to achieve the Virus Bulletin's VB100 certification. The other products are McAfee's VirusScan Enterprise, G DATA's AntiVirusKit 2007, and Norman's VirusControl. All failed to pass a series of tests that are required to display the VB100 badge. 'With the number of delays that we've seen in Vista's release, there's no excuse for security vendors not to have got their products right by now,' said John Hawes, technical consultant at Virus Bulletin.

The VB100 Certification is an important component of the AdwareReport Antivirus rankings.
