"We work very hard to provide the best anti-virus protection, so independent confirmation that we have succeeded from such a reputable source is always welcome" said Carole Theriault, security consultant at Sophos.
The Checkmark system has been developed by West Coast Labs, an independent research and test centre. It provides a reliable means of authenticating products and certifying those of the highest quality.
