Gold Self-Protection (64-bit) Award 2011 - Anti-Malware Test Lab

It is not a rare case when malicious programs have functionality aimed at overriding or disrupting operation of the system's anti-virus protection. Thus contemporary anti-virus products should be able to resist such attempts, that is, they should include self-protection functionality. This helps them to resist even the most complicated attacks, such as when malicious programs use a variety of methods to disable protection, and remove the infection using standard tools.

In this test we examine the self-protection capabilities of complex Internet Security anti-virus products against possible malware attacks. This was the first time we tested the software under Windows 7 64-bit. As before all tests were carried out with local administrative privileges on the following levels :

• Modification of file and registry key access permissions
• Modification / removal of modules
• Deletion of anti-virus databases
• Modification / deletion of important registry keys
• Process termination
• Modification of processes / code
• Driver unloading

Gold Malware Treatment Award 2010 - Anti-Malware Test Lab

Thousands of new malware samples appear on the Internet every day. Virus-writers invent more and more new methods to prevent detecting and removing malware code from the system such as using rootkit-technology masking. No anti-virus can guarantee 100% protection of your computer under such conditions, that is why an ordinary user will always run into a risk of infection even if he has an anti-virus protection installed.

In many cases, a malware let into your computer can stay unnoticed for quite a long time even if an anti-virus is installed. In this case, a user will have a false feeling of protection as his anti-virus will not alarm any danger while the malefactors will be collecting confidential information or use his computer capacities with the help of their active malware application. It also often happens that an anti-virus detects a malware but cannot delete it, that makes the user apply for technical support or remove infection by himself using some extra tools.

Anti-virus vendors can protect their customers developing malware detection and removing technologies. But practice proves that only some of them pay due attention to this protection aspect.

The objective of this test is to check personal anti-viruses for their capacity to detect and remove malware successfully (without interfering with operation system operability) after it penetrated into your computer, started acting and hid its activity.


Platinum (100%) Self-Protection Award 2009 - Anti-Malware Test Lab

Social engineering techniques make it easy to entice users to download and launch malicious programs as yet unknown by anti-virus solutions. In such cases, in order to gain complete and uninterrupted control over the system, malicious programs search for an anti-virus program, firewall or other protective solution in order to disrupt its operation.

Consequently, contemporary anti-virus products should be able to resist such attempts, that is, they should include self-protection functionality. This helps them to resist even the most complicated attacks, such as when malicious programs use a variety of methods to disable protection, and remove the infection using standard tools after receiving the appropriate anti-virus database updates.

The test studied the self-protection capabilities of anti-virus solutions under Microsoft Windows XP SP3. Self-protection from the following types of attacks was analyzed :

• Modification of file and registry key access permissions
• Modification / removal of modules
• Deletion of anti-virus databases
• Modification / deletion of important registry keys
• Process termination
• Modification of processes / code
• Driver unloading
