Dear all,
We completed and published the results of the Antivirus Self-Protection Test!
We tested the following antivirus programs:
Testing of the self-protection capabilities was conducted manually or using specially developed utilities that imitate attacks. After each attack, the correct operation of the antivirus product (including individual modules, active processes, services and drivers) was verified.
The testing process included the following steps:
A separate clean virtual machine was used for each antivirus program (step 1). After testing the antivirus product’s self-protection capability based on one of the criteria, the virtual machine was rolled back to its original state after product installation (step 4).
