Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management
solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 has received a VB100
award from respected British magazine Virus Bulletin. The product
successfully passed the publications latest comparative tests,
demonstrating full compatibility with the recently released Windows
Vista Service Pack 1.
The specialists at Virus Bulletin tested 37 antivirus products on a
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 operating system. As well as comparing how
effectively the antivirus products detected malware, compatibility with
the latest Microsoft update was also assessed.
Almost half of the products, including McAfee VirusScan, Trend Micro
Internet Security and BitDefender, failed to shine during the test,
missing several known malicious programs. A number of the products also
displayed instabilities running on the updated Windows Vista platform.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 performed admirably throughout the testing
process, demonstrating effective malware detection and superior
stability on the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 platform. The performance
earned the product yet another VB100 award, one of the most prestigious
in the antivirus industry. According to John Hawes, author of the
review, "Kaspersky has a long and illustrious record, producing
consistently excellent detection rates and unimpeachable standards of
design and implementation."
"The compatibility of our products with the latest Microsoft
updates has always been a top priority for us," comments Alexey
Kalgin, deputy product director at Kaspersky Lab. "For a number of
years now we have had Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status and we are
constantly taking part in Microsoft ISV Early Access Programs, which
allows us to test the compatibility of our products with new platforms
and service packs at the beta stage. This means we can guarantee that
our users will have no problems when an updated version of Windows is
officially released. The latest versions of our products are fully
compatible with all versions of Windows Vista SP1, including the 64-bit
version."
