The test was performed on a specially-prepared VMware GSX Server platform. A “clean” virtual machine with a Microsoft Windows XP SP2 operating system was cloned for each antivirus product.
The following antivirus programs were tested:
All of the actions recommended by the installation programs (e.g., system restart, updating, etc.) were performed. The antivirus program default settings were not altered after installation. The only exception was when the “scan all files” option had to be activated in the settings.
Testing stages:
Each antivirus program was allocated a dedicated clean virtual machine (step 1). A copy of the sample collection of malicious programs was made for each antivirus product (step 2).
