WOBURN, Mass. — Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of Internet threat management solutions that protect against all forms of malicious software, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 has received the Gold Anti-Rootkit Protection Award from the Anti-Malware Test Lab - an independent security software testing organization.
A rootkit is a program designed to take fundamental control (in Unix terms "root" access; in Windows terms "Administrator" access) of a computer system, without authorization by the system’s owners and legitimate managers.1
A total of eight antivirus products were tested by the Anti-Malware Test Lab for the detection and removal of rootkits, including: McAfee VirusScan Plus 200, Symantec Anti-Virus 2008, Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008 and ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus 3.0. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 took top billing among all of the products and was the only antivirus product to win the Gold Anti-Rootkit Protection Award.
The test was conducted on a Windows XP SP2 operating system over the course of two months. The purpose of the test was to evaluate the ability of popular antivirus programs to detect and remove both known and unknown malicious programs that use rootkit technologies to conceal their presence on a user system (e.g., masking files and processes). The final stage of testing involved a selection of proof-of-concept rootkits.
"Malware authors have become determined adversaries and are increasingly leveraging technologies such as rootkits to advance their cause," said Jeff Aliber, senior director of product marketing for Kaspersky Lab. "The tests performed by the Anti-Malware Test Lab are of critical significance and underscore the importance of proactively protecting against this type of malicious content."
A complete version of the test is available on the Anti-Malware Test Lab website.
