Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Earns Another Top Rating from AV-Comparatives

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009’s proactive protection has once again received top marks from the authoritative AV-Comparatives test lab. The Kaspersky Lab product demonstrated high-level heuristic detection of new malware with a minimal amount of false positives.

The Austrian antivirus test laboratory AV-Comparatives has published the second part of its report on testing conducted in February 2009 in which 16 popular antivirus products took part. The second part of the report contains test results for proactive, heuristic detection. Kaspersky Lab was also awarded a top rating of Advanced+ for the first part of February’s test.

Proactive detection allows new malicious programs whose signatures have not yet been added to antivirus databases to be detected. This functionality is becoming increasingly important due to the increasing numbers of new malicious programs and their modifications. (Read more)

Why Kaspersky?

Three Reasons for Online Backups

· In-house backup plans can sometimes overlook the obvious need for security. Many do not see the need to secure the backup data when the data is kept inside their own walls. There are statistics that speak for the need to do so. Employees often perpetrate damage, destruction and loss. Curiosity or revenge can push people to enter an arena they normally would not go into. Data can draw this type of response. Protecting and securing your data has a lot to do with protecting your employees.

· When one employee has committed a crime, everyone is subject to questioning. It does not make sense to leave the door open and having online remote backups can close that door.

· Online remote backup sends your data encrypted with a key only you hold. The backup process cannot be initiated except through authentication. You will know who requested the backup because you have identified and authorized certain people to do so and a log will tell you who performed the backup. In addition, once the data has arrived to the remote location, you should have the added security any online remote backup service would provide along with trained staff and a 24/7 Customer Service policy. Can you say the same for the backup data located in your office?
