| For With its archive scanning switched on, Kaspersky Anti-Virus Platinum Edition has been the only anti-virus solution to provide 100 per cent detection in our compression test.Against One thing guaranteed to prove frustrating is having to open a PDF file to locate a manual, then having to print it before starting an installation - even when the quality of the manual is high.Verdict This particular anti-virus solution provided some surprises when undergoing our tests. Its identification and disinfection rates were high but with archive scanning switched on in our compression test it produced a result we haven't experienced with other solutions. It proved itself to be worthy of our admiration on this score alone. | ||||||||||||||

The platinum edition of
Kaspersky Anti-Virus (available in the UK from Oxford Solutions) comprises
five main components. The first is the AVP Scanner. The AVP Monitor is
launched when a user logs on to Windows and is the -on-access' part of
AVP. The AVP Update will maintain your anti-virus. The updates are installed
automatically once downloaded from the Kaspersky Lab Internet site.With its archive scanning switched on, Kaspersky Anti-Virus Platinum Edition has been the only anti-virus solution to provide 100 per cent detection in our compression test.The AVP Control Centre allows all your AVP information to be viewed. The interface is as you would expect with everything clear and easy to move around in. Unless the user wants to carry out an -on-demand' scan, AVP will sit quietly in the background and ensure that the updates and regular scans are accomplished as configured.Using the most recent -wildlist' and its available updates we bombarded this solution with everything. It is a hard test to live up to but AVP provided a credible 100 per cent detection rate, and also returned a 100 per cent disinfection rate. Maybe the most telling of the results, however, was to be found during the compression tests. With the archive scanning turned on, to our amazement, this produced a staggering 100 per cent return. | ||||||||||||||
