Kaspersky Internet Security detected every threat in AV-TEST Trial
Kaspersky Lab’s flagship product for home users Kaspersky Internet Security blocked every threat in the Bi-Monthly Certification January-February 2014 testing conducted by AV-Test. The solution claimed first place, achieving a score of 17.5 points out of a possible 18.
AV-TEST’s procedures evaluate security solutions using only the default settings. The antivirus databases of the products are updated immediately prior to the test. In addition, the solutions can access their vendor cloud services to obtain the latest information about new threats. These test settings accurately recreate the operating conditions on most home computers.
A total of 25 products from different vendors participated in the testing. The main selection of threats for Bi-Monthly Certification January-February 2014 included about 17,800 widespread samples. A further 151 relatively obscure samples were also included to enable a better assessment of the effectiveness of protection mechanisms.
"The advantage of AV-TEST’s methodology is that the test results indicate which security solution performs most effectively in the type of conditions that most people encounter in their day-to-day Internet use. Kaspersky Internet Security is consistently among the leaders, reliably blocking threats without producing false positives," commented Oleg Ishanov, Director of the Anti-Malware Research Unit, Kaspersky Lab
The testing was performed on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Service Pack Service Pack 1
