A recent independent study from AV-Test.org picked out Kaspersky Mobile Security as one of only two products (from a sample of 41) which countered all malicious programs. Most of the so-called competition failed miserably to provide even basic protection against an ever-growing number of malicious apps targeting mobile devices. Overall, the evaluation by AV-Test.org conducted in early 2012, had given the 'green light' to just seven products, while 18 solutions detected less than 40% of malware samples and six of them failed to spot a single piece of rogue code.
Victor Dronov, Senior Product Manager, Kaspersky Lab, said, "Recently the number of mobile malware samples in our database has exceeded 10 thousand. That is why we believe it's essential to have a security solution on your Android smartphone. We are pleased with the results of independent testing by AV-Test.org - they confirm the efficiency of our product as a whole, and endorse our recently introduced combination of traditional and cloud-based security technologies in particular. These results also clearly demonstrate that our product is a market leader, among both free and paid-for products."
