A new evaluation of the Independent Testing Institute was released AV-Test for protection from product viruses for Windows 8.1. The assessment compared their performance from March to April 2014.
Antivirus reviews may be out of date at this point in time as they are already being released publications who say the end of security software is coming. These posts may be a bit exaggerated but they describe the landscape very well. The most correct way to look at it is that antivirus is not, and can never be, an adequate means of protecting the user from attacks. But, for most users, it's still an important first-line defense.
The edge of the market for this defense is now in Windows 8.1, the operating system with which most new computers come.
The evaluation of the independent AV-TEST Testing Institute concerns 25 from these products for consumers and nine for businesses and shows that most of them are very effective in preventing known malware (20,646 samples) and unknown (138 samples). The number of products that detect the 100% of these threats in the tests conducted by AV-TEST were from March to April. The charts are provided by the AV-TEST Institute.
Είναι δύσκολο να γνωρίζουμε πόσο επιτυχία έχουν τα λογισμικά ασφαλείας στις επιχειρήσεις, δεδομένου ότι οι επιχειρήσεις εξακολουθούν να αποφεύγουν τα Windows 8.x. Σύμφωνα όμως με το AV-TEST δε αποφεύγουν το λειτουργικό λόγω της ποιότητας των AV. Έξι από τα εννέα προϊόντα (Bitdefender Endpoint Security 5.3, G Data Security Client 13.0, Kaspersky Lab Endpoint Security 10.2, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise με το EPO 8.8 και F-Secure Client Security 11.50) μπλοκάρουν το 100 τοις εκατό των απειλών τόσο το Μάρτιο όσο και τον Απρίλιο. Ένα έβδομο προϊόν, το Trend Micro Office Scan 10.6 found 99 percent of unknown malware tested in March, and 100 percent in April.
The vast majority of consumer anti-malware detected 100 percent, or very close to it, of the unknown malware tested. Only three out of 25 (Tencent PC Manager 8.5, Microsoft Windows Defender 4.3 & 4.4, and AhnLab V3 Internet Security 8.0) detected less than 94 percent of unknown malware. A new product in testing was Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 13.0.
Από τα εννέα προϊόντα για τις επιχειρήσεις, μόνο το Bitdefender Endpoint Security 5.3 πήρε μια κορυφαία βαθμολογία στην απόδοση. Στα άλλα προϊόντα παρατηρήθηκαν ψευδείς θετικές ανιχνεύσεις και προalerts, αλλά ήταν τόσο λίγα ώστε η AV-TEST έδωσε και στα εννέα την κορυφαία βαθμολογία για την απόδοση. Η υψηλότερη συνολική βαθμολογία, ήταν ένα τέλειο 18.0, και πήγε στο προϊόν της Bitdefender.
From consumer products - Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2014, Qihoo 360 Internet Security 4.2, Kingsoft Antivirus 2013, and Tencent PC Manager 8.5 - have had top performance results. Some of the others like Panda Security Cloud Antivirus FREE 2.3, ThreatTrack VIPRE Internet Security 2014, and PCKeeper Antivirus Pro 1.0, did quite well in this test. Top scores were given to 20 of the 25 products.
