Yes. ICSA Labs tests and certifies antivirus software. To be certified, the software must detect 100% of in-the-wild viruses (in general distribution) and 90% of more than 6,000 test viruses. All versions of eTrust Antivirus are ICSA Labs-certified. The ability to detect all in-the-wild viruses is the real test of antivirus software.
