W is for WildList
Malware (malicious software) that is currently active and spreading on PCs throughout the World are said to be ‘in the wild’. The WildList is an official list of all malware in the wild and any worthwhile anti-virus product seeks to be able to detect 100% of all malware in the WildList. The WildList mission statement says this:
“The mission of the Wildlist Organization is to provide accurate, timely and comprehensive information about “In the Wild” computer viruses to both users and product developers. The WildList, a list of computer viruses found in the wild and reported by a diverse group of over 55 qualified volunteers, is made available free of charge by the organization.”
The volunteers include representatives from many of the most respected anti-virus and software companies in the world including Microsoft, McAfee, Trend Micro and Eugene Kaspersky of Kaspersky Labs.
