About Virus Bulletin
Virus Bulletin started in 1989 as a magazine dedicated to providing PC users with a regular source of intelligence about computer viruses, their prevention, detection and removal, and how to recover programs and data following an attack.
Virus Bulletin quickly became the leading specialist publication in the field of viruses and related malware.
Editorial independence has always been VB's prime concern. From the very first issue, VB has cut through AV hype and remained uninfluenced by sales pitches and marketing babble. The aim of the magazine is to arm users with all the information they need to stay current with the latest developments in the anti-virus field.
The inaugural Virus Bulletin conference took place in 1991, its objectives were to present factual information about computer viruses, to demonstrate defensive procedures, to discuss probable future virus developments and countermeasures and to attempt to harmonise research efforts.
The objectives of the VB conference remain unchanged today and it has become a major highlight of the anti-virus calendar, with many of its regular attendees citing it as the anti-virus event of the year.
The VB conference provides a focus for the AV industry, representing an opportunity for experts in the anti-virus arena to share their research interests, discuss methods and technologies and set new standards, as well as meet with - and learn from - those who put their technologies into practice in the real world. Delegates range from dedicated AV researchers to security experts from military organizations and large corporations worldwide.
