When carrying out tests to check how good your antivirus protection against viruses, trojans and other dangerous code, usually this is in general done by faking an attack on a computer with antivirus software. It installs simply a variety of viruses on your computer. This is often done in a closed environment and it is a great way to find out how good the protection is active.
But it is by no means a perfect solution. More interesting is that if you do that NSS Labs and testing antivirus programs in a live environment. NSS Labs has tested nine known viruses by exposing them to current threats. Example, it has sent the computer to dangerous websites viruses downloaded. Then you can see which of the security programs that stopped the download, and who was keeping an installation on the download could not be stopped.
Based on this test has thus been given up two percentage values. One that tells what percentage of the dangerous code that was stopped as soon as it tried to be downloaded to your computer, and one that tells you how many of those who managed to download but was stopped during installation attempt.
Trend Micro picked as said home first place with 96.4 percent. The software from Trend Micro used is Trend Micro Internet Security 2009. In second place we find Kaspersky to 87.8 percent. The figures are quite evident with the Trend Micro really managed to create a really good protection against harmful software on the Internet.
But one thing that should be noted is that security companies are going out with the 2010 versions of their programs. Those that NSS Labs has tested the 2009 model year, which means that the new versions will hopefully be even better at stopping the dangerous code live. The security package and the antivirus which was included in the test were:
- AVG Internet Security, version 8.5.375
- Eset Smart Security 4, version 4.0.437
- F-Secure Internet Security 2009, version 9.00 build 149
- Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, version 8.0.0.506
- McAfee Total Protection Suite 2009
- Norman Security Suite 7.1
- Norton Internet Security 2009, version 16.5.0.135
- Panda Internet Security, version 14
- Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, version 17.1.1250
