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. It quickly became and remains today 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 the hype and remained uninfluenced by vendors' 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 ever changing anti-malware field.
Month by month the Virus Bulletin on-line magazine provides:

- Thought-provoking news and opinions from respected members of the anti-malware industry.
- Detailed analyses of the latest malware threats.
- Feature-length articles exploring new developments in the fight against malware.
- Interviews with leading anti-malware experts.
- Independent indepth evaluations of current AV products.
- Comparative reviews featuring the unique VB100 and VBSpam award scheme. 

The inaugural VB conference took place in 1991 and since then the scope has widened to include all forms of malware and spam. The principal objectives of the conference remain unchanged today: to present factual information, demonstrate defensive procedures and discuss future developments and countermeasures, while providing an opportunity for experts in the anti-malware 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.

Split into two streams, the conference program caters for both technical and corporate audiences, covering a wide range of anti-malware and spam-related subjects. Delegates range from dedicated anti-malware researchers to security experts from government and military organizations, legal, financial and educational institutions and large corporations worldwide. Indeed, the VB conference has become a major highlight of the anti-malware calendar, with many of its regular attendees citing it as the anti-malware event of the year.

The 20th VB conference will take place 29 September – 1 October 2010 at the Westin Bayshore hotel, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Virus Bulletin is supported by an Advisory Board comprising some of the world's leading anti-malware and anti-spam experts.
