After the exciting first placed in the January test edition, Libra Esvarepeats itself by winning the March edition of the prestigious Virus Bullettin comparative test! The outcome would not need of further comments, were not for the fact that Libra Esva was the first and the only product, among the 22 competitors, being awarded the newSPAM+ Award, reserved  to those products that block all but at most one in 200 spam messages (i.e., have a spam catch rate of 99.5% or higher) and at the same time do not block any legitimate email; well Libra Esva filtered out 201.049 emails, missing only 59 spam email (SC of 99,97%!) and blocking none of the now almost 9,000 legitimate emails!

Martijn Grooten, technical director at Virus Bullettin, said:

After achieving the highest final score in the previous test, it seemed like there was little opportunity for Libra Esva to improve. Yet the product did just that: it was the only product in this test to increase its spam catch rate, while once again blocking none of the now almost 9,000 legitimate emails. The product achieved the highest final score and is the first winner of a VBSpam+ award.

Eng Paolo Frizzi, CEO of Libra, said:

Libra Esva never fails to amaze us, and being the only solution that have improved performances and have won the new spam+ award is yet another confirmation the technical value of the product.

If 2011 began with two awards, the 2012 was even more generous leading Libra Esva to first place overall ranking in the highly respected Virus Bulletin Spam test!

After four second places Libra Esva finally achieved the highest final score in a particular edition of the test for both number of competitors (as many as 22!) and type of spam; this is traditionally a very active time for spammers who launch new spam campaigns over the Christmas and New Year holidays!

The first place has been achieved not only for the exceptional ability to block spam (99,96%), but more importantly the lack of false positives!

Numbers are very impressive: Libra Esva missed only 62 messages out of 152,236 scanned emails with 0 false positives!

VBspam quadrant says it all:

Martin Grooten, author of the Virus Bulletin Anti-spam comparative review stated that:

This month Libra Esva finally managed what it had been so close to so many times before: achieving the highest final score in the test. An excellent spam catch rate was combined with a total lack of false positives (even among newsletters), which means that, along with its 11th VBSpam award, the Italian company should have extra cause for celebration.

This result makes us very proud and shows how hard work and outstanding efforts in improving the product are always rewarded. We have a great technology, easy to use and for the first time the product outperformed all other participants to the test!

Ing.Paolo Frizzi seems to have no doubts about Libra Esva quality and its real performances that leaded Libra Esva over the top!
