Product Certificates:

This logo is to testify that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations has been successfully tested and is fully functional in VMware-based virtual environments.

 

"VB100 Virus" Certificate by Virus Bulletin

Kaspersky Lab is proud to announce that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations has been awarded with the prestigious VB100 award by the British Virus Bulletin magazine. After scoring a top result in malware detection in the extensive 3-week comparative testing program published in the August Virus Bulletin issue, the application has been awarded with VB100.

The testing program was comparing 54 popular antivirus products on the Windows Vista Business Edition SP2 platform. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations disinfected 100% of polymorph and “in-the-wild” viruses used for testing, in the “on-demand” and “real-time protection” modes. Also, the Kaspersky Lab application successfully neutralized almost every trojan, work and bot. The Anti-Virus demonstrated a very high RAP (Reactive and Proactive) detection level — between 88 and 91% significantly outperforming such manufacturers as Symantec and McAfee.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations did not produce a single false positive towards legitimate software during the testing program. The Virus Bulletin report especially notes the GUI as well though-over and easy-to-use.


 

 

"CheckMark Platinum - RealTime" Product Award from West Coast Labs

Kaspersky Lab, a leading manufacturer of secure content management solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations was one of the first security solutions in the world to earn the Checkmark Platinum Product Award certificate.

The Checkmark Platinum Product Award is a prestigious new award from West Coast Labs, an independent cybersecurity testing and research center. The certificate is issued based upon the results of extensive real-time testing of the quality of antimalware protection provided by a product. These tests very closely simulate the real life working conditions of an average user's computer. Each solution is tested 24x7x365 against a feed of malware in real time which transferred through or to it via the different protocols. Samples are harvested in real time through WCL's global honeynet which spans North and South America, Europe and Asia.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations demonstrated a consistently high level of malware detection with sufficient performance for the solution to run in real-time. The product was tested against some 800 malware samples appearing each month, including the newest malicious programs that might not yet feature in any malware databases.

The tests mimicked simultaneous attacks via the principle channels through which a computer may become infected: email, Internet browsing and FTP traffic. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 R2 for Windows Workstations delivered a convincing performance in filtering all of the potential channels, thereby ably demonstrating its comprehensive protection capability.
