10:47 Lies big lies and antivirus software Part Four "Heresy of the universal» | |
| Security Tools is a black box for their users. A simple man in the street can not understand what is the effectiveness of the protection which he had bought or collected. Need test. Tests organized by professionals. Until recently, there were only two types of test facilities to protect against infection-line and retrospective test antivirus scanning engine. Nothing more. In general. Direct test when taken from a collection of approximately one million specimens, it is unclear how and where collected, with an unknown amount of garbage that does not start, and at this mess let in the scanning engine. Cheap and cheerful. The retrospective test is a test with "frozen" signature-based databases. They will no longer update a few weeks, and then on svezhepostupivshee meat set against the same virus scanner. As you can see, in these tests, there is no place for an innovation approaches to prevent infection. Tested only scanning engine, like anything else does not exist. However, most modern antivirus software came a behavior blocker and filter URL, to test that old methods can not. And then there was the organization AMTSO, aimed at developing a radically new approach to the so-called dynamic, testing. That is going to link to malicious applications and run on the testbed. There may already work and reference filters, and behavior analysis, and the test itself becomes more close to reality. Dynamic tests are technically much more complicated than a simple run of the engine-malware scanner on the collection of modules. In fact, none of the testing organizations are not doing this test on a regular basis, while only some are under preparation. Dynamic tests on the prevention of infection, apparently tightly come into our lives only in 2011-2012, becoming the measure of the effectiveness of prevention of infection. I believe that many manufacturers try to silence or distort the results of such tests, tightly focused on outdated "signature" because the results are not in their favor. In November 2009 came the first dynamic test, produced by Russian portal security Anti-Malware. Here are the results: http://www.anti-malware.ru/antivirus_test_zero-day_protection. As can be seen, the old approaches to ensuring security of computers with a bang lost new, make their way in life. Now let's look at the reaction of manufacturers remedies. Responded only to Kaspersky Lab, marketers whose flick of the wrist made second place in Kaspersky Internet Security ... the first one! Do not believe me, here's a link: http://www.kaspersky.ru/news?id=207733114. All the others simply ignored the test as if it did not exist. Well, right-Villani should not know the facts, confusing the mind, they must believe and work, and most importantly, to feed the host. To only one thought that there are alternative approaches to the protection of computer infection, is perceived as heresy by the universal! P.S. The final article in a week-cycle. | |
