Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare 1.5 Tops Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0
- On Windows XP

Microsoft has managed to score its first points in the security industry with Windows Live OneCare. Microsoft's latest operating system has received the second VB100 award in its short life. But so far the awards delivered by Virus Bulletin have been a negative vote on the performances of Windows Live OneCare, especially when Microsoft's antivirus needed all the support it could get. In
February 2007, OneCare failed to detect all the malware samples thrown against it on Windows Vista. But in June, OneCare repeated the good performances from 2006 on Windows XP.

"We抮e pleased to report that Windows Live OneCare just received the VB100 award from Virus Bulletin. This award comes on the heels of OneCare抯 recent re-certification from West Coast Labs and the ICSA Labs. Together, these accolades are a strong endorsement of OneCare抯 powerful anti-malware tools and mean that OneCare protects customers from known threats on the market today. We抣l continue our ongoing work to keep PCs safe and secure. In the meantime, we抮e honored that top testing bodies endorse the powerful protection that OneCare provides as a part of an all-in-one PC care offering," revealed a member of the Windows Live Onecare team.

Not only has Microsoft been awarded VB100, but also outperformed rival security solution from Kaspersky. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0.2.621 on Windows XP failed to get the VB100 award, while direct competitors from Symantec, McAfee and Sophos had no problems through the tests. Kaspersky, a household name in the security industry, has downplayed Microsoft's first steps on the security market on more than one occasion. While this success is a confirmation for Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft has a long way until it will reach a standard similar to that of the Russian security developer. However, Kaspersky's failure to achieve the VB100 award comes to show that there is sufficient room for oscillation on the security market, and that Microsoft could benefit from enough elbow space to get out of its niche.

Windows Live OneCare Grows in Antivirus Test Ranking
- OneCare delivers enhanced security

Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare is not the last and least anti-virus solution available on the market any more. The Redmond Company has obviously poured a lot of effort into its security solution in order to get it off the ground and out of the performance dump. Since launching Windows Live OneCare at the beginning of 2007, almost in tandem with Windows Vista, Microsoft has continuously hammered at antivirus. In mid March 2007, Microsoft announced the world-wide availability of Windows Live OneCare and aimed at explaining, with an apologetic tone, OneCare's failures in the VB100 and the AV comparatives antivirus tests.

Then on May 18th 2007, the Windows Live OneCare team revealed that Microsoft's security
solution had been recertified by West Coast Labs and the ICSA, and at the beginning of this week, the antivirus evolved to the next version. Microsoft is offering OneCare 1.6 for download, an upgrade from v1.5. But this is only the start of the good news for Microsoft, because the latest tests run by Andreas Cleminti's AV Comparatives reveal a different perspective over OneCare. While Microsoft's antivirus managed to finish up last in the February 2007 test, OneCare made half of a decent comeback.

"The same products, with the same best possible detection settings that the scan engines had in the last comparative, were used for this test. For this test we used new samples received between 2 February and 2 May 2007, which were all new to any tested product," informed Cleminti. Out of the 17 antivirus products testes, Windows Live OneCare finished 14. According to Cleminti, none of the security solutions have been updated with virus signatures or with additional versions since February 2, 2007. "Even if most antivirus products provide daily or hourly [signature] updates, without heuristic/generic methods [of detection] there is always a time frame where the user is not protected," Cleminti said.

According to AV Comparatives, ESET LLC's NOD32 AntiVirus performed the best out of all security products, but aAvira GmbH's AntiVir PE Premium and Fortinet Inc.'s FortiClient delivered equally compelling performances only with excessive false positives out of the total 20,000 malware instances that were thrown against them.

The Best Antivirus for Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2
- Even Microsoft got the VB100 for XP with OneCare

Sophos Anti-Virus is the best security solution for both Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 2. On June 4 2007, security developer Sophos celebrated the 38th VB100 award. The award given by Virus Bulletin magazine attests that the security solution provided by Sophos for Windows XP
offers top of the line protection.

"This is the 38th time that Sophos Anti-Virus has won a prestigious VB100 award, confirming its ability to detect 100% of the viruses in the wild, and its position as one of the most powerful virus protection products available. Virus Bulletin tested 37 different anti-virus products for their detection rates, lack of false alarms, and speed of scanning on the Windows XP SP2 platform. Sophos successfully detected all of the in-the-wild viruses (as well as identifying 100% of the file, polymorphic, worms, DOS and macro viruses) with no false alarms, outperforming a number of other vendors," Sophos revealed via a press release.

At the beginning of February 2007, following the release of Windows Vista to the general public, Sophos Anti-Virus also received the VB100 award ahead of Microsoft and McAfee. But while the February 2007 tests were focused on Windows Vista, the June rankings turn back to XP SP2.

"Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows XP performed impressively during the tests with its simple installation, in-depth configuration options and excellent detection rates," said John Hawes, technical consultant at Virus Bulletin. "By protecting against all the in-the-wild viruses without false positives, Sophos earns itself another VB100 award."

Other security developers that managed to get the VB100 award for XP SP2 are Symantec, Microsoft, Trend Micro, McAfee, GDATA, BitDefender (SOFTWIN) and Avira. The biggest names that failed the VB100 tests are Kaspersky and F-Secure.

boleh tak.. ...

Antivir,avg dan avs adalah free antivirus.Ini bermaksud ianya memberi perlindungan yang basic pada pc anda. Walaubagaimanapun ianya sudah memadai bg pc,sekiranya anda inginkan lebih protection pada pc silalah dapatkan antivirus berbayar norton,kaspersky,pc cilin dn lain2 lagi.

Symantec Norton 360

Two years ago, when Symantec first presented us with their idea to create a complete security and performance solution, the company said it wanted to start from scratch, to build the thing right; we're happy to say that Symantec Norton 360 delivers on that early promise. That's not to say Norton 360 is perfect, nor is it designed for everyone. There are features in the all-in-one suite that we wish had been added (such as wireless security tools), but overall Norton 360 provides a much better user experience and security protection than either Windows Live OneCare or McAfee Total Protection. In fact, Norton 360 is better than Norton Internet Security 2007 in some respects, namely that it's lighter on system resources, the tools are better integrated, and it presents a much better design model than the current Norton product line. But more advanced users should stay with the Internet security suites for now.
Setup
Our setup of the final shipping version was surprisingly fast and easy. Norton 360 requires 300MB of hard drive space, considerably less than Windows Live OneCare, but about double that of McAfee Total Protection. Like the others, Norton 360 requires 256MB of RAM. Like Windows Live OneCare, Norton 360 works on Windows XP and Windows Vista. Only McAfee works on Windows 2000 through Vista. Like the other super suites, the price includes installation on up to three different PCs (for example, two desktops and a laptop).

The new Norton 360 interface is clean and intuitive.
We really like the Norton 360 interface; it's unlike the interface used on the rest of the Norton 2007 product line. The UI for Norton 360 is clean, intuitive, and no-nonsense. A toolbar across the top allows quick access to scans, configuration for tasks, access to your Norton online account, in-program Help, and technical support. Below that, there's a line that displays any current system alerts, such as configuring your backup and recovery options. The main section includes modules for PC Security, Transaction Security, Backup and Recovery, and PC Tuneup. Each of these modules displays a color-coded status and a brief explanation, with an option for more details.
Within each module is a clean list of various diagnostics and tools and their status. You can't, however, tweak your firewall settings here, or exclude a second drive from your virus and spyware scan; for that you need to use the main screen's toolbar for Tasks and Settings. It's a minor inconvenience; casual users will appreciate the clean reporting style, but advanced users (for whom the product was not intended) will want to tweak right away and become frustrated at the extra step. Also within each module are access to Help and technical support, along with selected extra steps that include access to glossaries and tutorials on the Symantec Web site. Gone are the blatant links to Symantec shopping that encourage you to purchase additional products, which we've seen in the past. We also like the fact that Norton 360 appears on the taskbar as an indiscrete icon, not the loud and flamboyant, yellow pill design used in Norton Internet Security 2007.
Should you want to remove Norton 360, we didn't find an uninstall icon and had to use the Add or Remove Programs tool within the Windows Control Panel. Although there is a separate listing for Symantec's LiveUpdate program, we were able to remove both programs by uninstalling Norton 360 alone. Upon reboot we found no registry entries and no system folders for Symantec or Norton 360.
Features
Rather than simply bundle all of the features from Norton Antivirus, Norton Internet Security, Norton SystemWorks, and Norton Confidential, Symantec went back to the drawing board and designed Norton 360 from the ground up. The result is a much more fluid experience. Even Symantec LiveUpdate, which sometimes feels like a clunky add-on to the other Norton products, is better integrated within Norton 360. Our initial update of the product was quick, with both LiveUpdate and Norton 360 downloading and installing within seconds.
Symantec pulled only the tools deemed most beneficial to the general user from all its product lines. Norton 360 includes antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing, antirootkit protection, a firewall, Symantec's new SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Advance Response) behavioral monitoring software, and a vulnerability assessment tool to see what Windows updates your computer might be missing. An add-on pack of online tools includes Parental Control, Antispam, and other optional features such as blocking private data from leaking onto the Internet.
Norton 360 also includes tools to defragment your hard drive and clean up temporary files and other clutter than could slow your PC down. These tools are fine, but are nowhere near as complete as Symantec's own Norton SystemWorks. Norton 360 does include a backup and recovery tool, and provides up to 2GB of free online storage. Online storage is great if your home or office was somehow destroyed and you need access to your backup files from a remote location (think of Hurricane Katrina). For additional fees, you can increase your online storage volumes, up to 25GB at $69.99 per year. Microsoft Windows Live OneCare and McAfee do not offer online storage. All three products allow you to back up onto your hard drive, CD, DVD, or USB drive.

Norton 360 lets you back up or recover from local and online sources.
What's missing within Norton 360 are a few surprises. There are no tools specifically targeted for wireless home networks, a rapidly emerging area. Aside from help setting up such networks, we'd also like to see tools that help encrypt the signals with WEP, WPA, or WPA2, or at least monitor whether someone uninvited joins your home wireless network. Of the three super suites, only McAfee Total Protection includes wireless security.
For Internet privacy, though Norton 360 will authenticate a site via Symantec's own servers, it won't store your passwords or credit cards in an encrypted vault unless you download the optional add-on pack. Of the three super suites, only McAfee Total Protection provides an ID vault with the program itself. Total Protection also provides a data file shredder, a must if you have personal files that you don't want hanging around your hard drive after the fact.
We also found that Norton 360 is optimized for Internet Explorer only, and not Firefox and Opera browsers. It could be said that Symantec realizes that Internet Explorer users need more protection, but it would be nice to use the antiphishing feature in Norton 360 on Firefox or Opera. Of the three super suites, only McAfee supports Firefox; none support Opera.
Performance
If you've ever used a Symantec Norton product and then removed it because it was too heavy on your system resources, you'll be delighted to learn that Norton 360 feels light compared to the legacy of the past. We counted only three processes running on our task manager, compared with several from McAfee and Microsoft. This is a huge improvement over previous editions of Norton Internet Security, which tended to be very large.
Norton 360 uses the Norton Antivirus 2007 engine, an application that improves on last year's CNET Labs' performance test scores, although Norton turns in a mixed bag of results overall. On our iTunes test, Norton lost ground compared with last year, taking 208 seconds as opposed to 184 seconds last year. On our Sorensen Squeeze test, Norton improved, taking 317 seconds compared to 326 seconds last year. Overall, Norton showed the most improvement with individual file scans; it took only 117 seconds versus 320 seconds last year. But in terms of boot speed, Norton lost ground by taking 4 seconds longer, 66 seconds as opposed to last year's 62 seconds. Visit CNET Labs to find out how we test antivirus software.
To determine how well a product will protect your PC, we refer to test results from two leading independent antivirus testing organizations. In the latest test results from AV-Comparatives.org, Norton AntiVirus 2006 earned an Advanced + rating (the highest), catching 98 percent of all malware tested, and from Checkvir.com, Norton AntiVirus 2006 was one of eight products to earn its Standard rating (also the highest).
