OREANDA-NEWS. December 31, 2015. AV-Comparatives Whole-Product Dynamic Protection Test aims to simulate real-world conditions as experienced every day by users. The latest test compared the performance of different security products on a PC operating using Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit. Each product, recently updated, with Internet access and default settings, was tested on its ability to block malicious malware and harmful domains, whilst allowing for minimal false positives.

Products tested could defend PCs from cyberthreats at any stage. It could be while browsing a website, while an exploit tries to run, while the file is being downloaded/created or when the malware is executed (either by the exploit or by the user). After the malware is executed (if not blocked before), testers wait several minutes for malicious activities to take place and for the security solutions to react (e.g.: using behavior-blockers) and remedy actions performed by the malware. The comparative testing allowed for these different methods and analyzed the end results of each solution over a period of four months.

From August until November 2015, Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 finished with protection rate of 99.9%, compared to an average rate of 97.5% across all products tested. The product correctly blocked 1,605 malicious domains and files out of 1606, and no non-malicious files or domains were blocked incorrectly (no false positives were recorded) – the best result in this test among all solutions.   

Timur Biyachuev, Director, Anti-Malware Research at Kaspersky Lab says, “In today’s fast evolving cyber landscape, Internet users are looking for a security solution that can protect them from an increasing number of threats. Users need a solution that can offer them accurate protection – blocking the threats, but letting users browse the Internet and download safe files uninterrupted – in order to get the best Internet experience possible. We have designed Kaspersky Internet Security with exactly this in mind, making it our goal to help users protect their digital lives. We are proud that our achievements have once again been verified and acclaimed by AV-Comparatives in its latest tests.”

Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 protects users against different Internet threats, delivering users with world-class security without affecting their Internet experience. The product benefits users with enhanced privacy features, including Private Browsing and Change Control, to protect their private lives.
