Kaspersky Internet Security wins AAA Award
Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 received the highest prize from the independent testing laboratory Dennis Technology Labsin the Home Anti-Virus Protection comparative test of security products for home users. The test was conducted in the first quarter of 2013.
Dennis Technology Labs experts assessed how effectively solutions function based on two parameters: detecting and blocking urgent threats, and eliminating false positives where legitimate software is incorrectly blocked.
'Urgent threats' include various Internet-based threats which users may encounter in their everyday computer activities. Dennis Technology Labs does not focus solely on malware samples; their experts also use web-sites seeded with malicious code which could infect computers. In order to recreate the most common computer use scenarios, the tests were run on computers with widespread Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems. Some popular legitimate applications, such as AdobeFlashPlayer, AdobeReader, OracleJava, etc were installed, since vulnerabilities in these programs are often exploited by cybercriminals.
