Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Wins Vb100

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 has received yet another prestigious VB100 award from the authoritative British magazine Virus Bulletin.

In a comparative test published in Virus Bulletin's April issue, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 demonstrated one of the best results for malware detection. 39 popular antivirus products participated in the test that was conducted on a Windows XP Service Pack 3 platform.

While running in "on-demand scanning" and "real-time protection" modes, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 neutralized 100% of the viruses from the Wildlist collection as well as from a collection of worms/bots and polymorphic viruses. The Wildlist collection, created prior to 20 February 2009, included several variants of the widespread Kido (Conficker) malicious program.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 finished among the top three products following RAP (Reactive and Proactive) testing, a new format introduced by Virus Bulletin to show how products perform against the latest malware that has emerged around the world. With a score of 92.2%, the Kaspersky Lab solution performed significantly better than the vast majority of software being tested. The company’s product also came out on top in terms of proactive detection of unknown threats. Throughout testing, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 did not produce a single false positive.
