Yes. The International Computer Security Association tests and certifies antivirus software. To be certified, the software must detect 100% of viruses in the wild (in general distribution) and 90% of over 6,000 test viruses. All versions of InoculateIT are ICSA certified and the results are on the Web at http://www.icsa.com. The ability to detect all viruses in the wild is the real test of antivirus software.
