VB RAP test results
February 2009 saw the introduction of RAP testing to VB's VB100 comparative reviews, measuring products' reactive and proactive detection abilities against the most recent malware that has emerged around the world.

The following chart shows the RAP results obtained over the last four tests, with average reactive scores plotted against average proactive scores for each product. (The detection figures from any test during which a product generated false positives are omitted (for that product) from the average calculations.)

The test measures products' detection rates across four distinct sets of malware samples. The first three test sets comprise malware first seen in each of the three weeks prior to product submission. These measure how quickly product developers and labs react to the steady flood of new malware emerging every day across the world. A fourth test set consists of malware samples first seen in the week after product submission. This test set is used to gauge products' ability to detect new and unknown samples proactively, using heuristic and generic techniques.
