The result was announced at the final test of the year, conducted by the UK Virus Bulletin (VB) magazine, which had involved many famous software developers.

Anti-virus softwares had to go through many procedures to check the detection rate with the virus samples collected independently in 3 weeks before and 1 week after the software is submitted to the VB.

The result of the detection rate is RAP score, a combination of the reactive and proactive scores in which the reactive scores measure the ability to handle with known types of virus while proactive scores shows the predictability of the software with the new virus samples.

The BKAV Home Plus received RAP score of 91.3/100 to rank 7 out of 64 softwares in the test, far beyond many traditional and famous names including Symantec-PC Tools, Kaspersky and McAfee.
