Vista has been out for some time, and our previous guesses have gradually been validated, real and inaccurate, and the truth is revealed with Vista. But after the launch of this revolutionary operating system, we still have a lot of questions about it: Is it really as safe as Bill Gates says? Many security vendors said: "Vista is not as safe as we thought, and Gates also said in the official context that Vista needs anti-virus software." But what worries us more is that some authoritative test results indicate that the vast majority of malware can work properly on Vista, which adds a bit of concern.

As for the security of Vista, we need to discuss it further:

As you can see from the picture: Vista's anti-virus software is only a malware protection program, and can not protect the computer virus. Therefore, Bill Gates to the safety of the company said the friendly gesture is not groundless. So Microsoft's own malware protection software--windows Defender is still far from enough, on the Microsoft Official website also published some Microsoft recommended security software:

This list is not MacFee, which is obviously not very reasonable, not to mention that these software is only in the United States, Microsoft recommended, and did not reasonably consider our national conditions. Concrete analysis of the specific situation, in our China's network environment performance of the best security software is meaningful to us, this is our online Miyoshi Street launched this evaluation of the original intention.

Below we enter the test link, the test uses 3,611 2006 ago the popular virus, including the worm, the backdoor, the Trojan horse, even DOS virus, mainly examines the software to the Chinese local virus characteristic code the control. The test also employs 19 shell-type viruses from 2006 onwards to examine the software's ability to defend against mutant viruses (the professional point is to examine the software's ability to peel and defend against unknown viruses).

Test Platform
Processor: AMD Ahtlon64 3000+
Memory: Kingston 512MB DDR400 X2
Hard disk: Seagate 120GB SATA2
Motherboard: NForce4 SLI
Operating system: Windows Vista Ultimate

The first one to play is our very curious Windows Defender, but its anti-virus ability is really ... At least it can check and analyze the package, which is good for a anti-spyware. After detection, Windows Defender can perform different customization operations, more user-friendly, and its scanning speed is also easy to accept.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 0

Anyway, like Bill Gates said, Vista still needs antivirus software.

Let's take a look at the more popular avast! abroad. , it is more popular in foreign anti-virus software, but in the domestic rare, more exciting is that it is also sensitive to Chinese viruses, detected 3,524 of viruses. Scanning speed also can be, but the text part of the software is dazzled, hope avast! Be able to do localization work in the future.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 17

Avg This anti-virus software is also a foreign more fiery anti-virus software, but its ability to detect virus is not very strong (at home), and the domestic use of it is very few people, the virus update and report to say nothing more. But this AVG anti-virus software anti-virus ability is not too weak, also detected 3,489 threats, the only drawback is that its scanning speed is somewhat slow.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 15

Bitdefender is also a veteran anti-virus software, its very large virus library has been a feature of it, in the anti-virus capability is also very good. But the old version of the Bitdefender scan speed is really too slow (this is why I abandoned it), in the new version of the BitDefender10 the problem does not appear-we see that its scanning time is only 28 seconds! Although fast, Bitdefender file detection is very meticulous, the number of scanned files reached 3,679, detected 2,258 viruses. We do not misunderstand, this 2258 is its signature code, the real detection of the virus reached 3,576, the number of detection virus high according to the top! This also has to do with its oversized virus library.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 18

However, the software will be recognized as garbled Chinese, localization is a serious lack of such a good software to have to be a regret, coupled with the Bitdefender of the usual uninstall problem, so that many Chinese users are deterred

CA as Microsoft's "King" antivirus software, the influence in the United States is also unusual, but at home there is no such scenery. We can see: CA antivirus software in China performance is not very good, many known viruses are not detected, at least its speed of drug detection is satisfactory. In fact, due to the domestic use of this software users relatively few, virus samples of the report also natural disadvantage, the known virus to kill the disappointments.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 16

Although the localization does not arrive in place, but this software's anti-virus ability is undoubted, the CA in many variants virus's killing performance is very good, hoped that will pay much attention to the Chinese area sample collection in future.

China's security software-Sinorama anti-virus performance really made us eat a surprise: the ability to check the virus is very strong, to 3,544; the number of objects scanned even more than Kaspersky, reached 4,373! It is said that the software's file scanning layer can reach 100 layers, it does not appear to be empty vernacular, and its scanning speed is also satisfactory, not because of the number of scanning layer caused by slow speed.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 14

Although the indicators of Sinorama anti-virus is better, but that is only known virus, we can see it on the variant (Add shell and flower) of the killing only to maintain an average level, domestic still need to work hard ah.

Next is in the domestic famous Kaspersky, this is an excessively deified security software (our company a lot of people in use!) ), but its powerful anti-virus ability and the performance of virus-check we admire. We need to explain: due to network problems, we have to upgrade the local virus package, and there is no online upgrade, may be the impact of Kaspersky's virus library.

Mutation Virus detection number: 19 (100%!) )

We can see: Kaspersky as a foreign anti-virus software, China's localization to do very well, whether it is the interface or virus library, of course, it also has a powerful anti-virus engine and active defense function. It not only has a strong ability to check the virus, there are excellent anti-virus skills, for a variety of viruses also have extraordinary effects, so that you exempted from the 0 crisis. However, because the Chinese users are still not enough, so Kaspersky's virus localization is not perfect (especially upgrade server), as well as its slightly slow scanning speed, is also a white jade micro flaw it.

Jinshan...... I don't want to say anything more, Jinshan poison PA 2007 performance in Vista can be expressed in "disappointment" two words. Although it prevents 3,616 viruses from running, but where do you look? is found in the most important temporary folders! When we use Jinshan poison to scan the virus package, it does a very dangerous action--unzip the virus into a temporary folder! In this way, our system is completely exposed to the threat of virus! and Jinshan Poison PA give us the result is: There is no poison in the compression bag ...

Fortunately we have ghost, these are also known viruses, if the compression package is really unknown virus, Jinshan poison will be extracted to the temporary folder, but also prompted us to compress the packet without viruses, the consequences of unimaginable ... So we will be Jinshan poison PA 2007 in the test results under Vista set aside.

At the same time, the result of the cancellation is jiangmin, because it in the Vista compatibility is poor, need to install two times to normal use, and the use of software in the process of the movement is very slow, reached an unacceptable level. For example, we click on the software "Upgrade" interface, to wait a few minutes to appear to upgrade the interface, the average user is unbearable, so we invalidate its results.

NOD32 is a very popular foreign security software, due to its excellent anti-virus ability and anti-virus speed, there are excellent resource occupancy rate and heuristic anti-virus, making it a choice for many foreign users. However, the localization of the software is not in place, the domestic virus Trojan killing performance is mediocre, so in the domestic market performance is not good.

From the test results can be seen: NOD32 Chinese virus database is not perfect, the Chinese virus samples reported also not positive response, fortunately its excellent heuristic antivirus can further detect unknown virus (7 unknown viruses).

Number of mutant viruses detected: 18

But recently NOD32 has set up an upgrade server in China to demonstrate its determination to open up the Chinese market, and we look forward to NOD32 's better performance after enriching the Chinese viral Library segment.

Although the Microsoft recommended Vista Antivirus has Norton, but in the process of installation we encountered difficulties-installation failed, so did not carry out Norton test.

Panda Guardian, this is also from foreign anti-virus software, it is the first to provide security software online upgrade services, so it is also a veteran manufacturer of security software. Its interface is relatively concise, but also the panda's consistent style (its anti-virus speed is very commendable). Panda defender's anti-virus ability is also good, found 3,506 viruses, which is in China's deep roots in the market.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 17

Trend of science and technology is China's Taiwan Province production of security software, the world's shipments are also very considerable, and Norton, MacFee and neck. Due to good relations with Taiwan's motherboard manufacturers, many of the packages included in the motherboard have trend-tech products. The software itself is home-grown Chinese software, the detection of domestic virus is also satisfactory, reached 3,513. The speed of scanning is slightly slower, but acceptable.

Number of mutant viruses detected: 17

In the three major domestic security software, rising performance is normal, after all, in the use of the process did not appear any bugs. On the surface: rising performance is really excellent than our imagination, whether it is virus detection ability or scanning time, are very good. In fact, the rising under Vista also inherited the old generation of products "can check can not kill" characteristics, although detected a lot of viruses, but for the compression of the antivirus package is completely incapable of anti-virus, its proud of the "virtual machine antivirus" where?

Number of mutant viruses detected: 12

Although can use normally, but this kind of anti-virus ability still make us ...

~vista under the anti-virus software test finally came to an end, in order to these anti-virus software we are really busy for a while, but got these very valuable information, hope to have upgraded to the friends under the Vista to play some guiding role.

Although we do not have wildlist as the world's authoritative virus library, nor is it the VB100 of professional authority, but we have used the Chinese local virus samples, the number has accumulated to a certain extent, so in the country has the absolute guiding significance. Therefore, I hope that the broad masses of netizens to see this assessment rationally, choose the best for their own.
