AV-Comparatives has completed testing of Kingsoft Internet Security 9 Plus for their Performance Test in December 2009. The focus of this test was on the system performance impact of the real-time on-access components of the security software. The complete results can be found here.

The test was performed on a clean Windows XP Professional SP3 system with defragmented disks. They repeated each test several times and averaged the results. In several cases they ran the test and then ran the same test again, to handle programs that learn and therefore run more quickly after the first time.

Here are the performance results opening files:

AV-Compariative has completed testing of Kingsoft Internet Security 9 Plus for their Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA) Test in November 2009. The focus of this test was on the detection of grey area malware. The complete results can be found here.

The first PUA test contained 750,297 individual samples that cover adware, spyware, and rogue software gathered between January 2009 and October 2009. Not all security products include detection for this grey area malware. Sixteen products were tested and set on the highest detection settings (except for Sophos and F-Secure, per their own request), and put to the test.

Here is the chart of missed samples in percentage points from the test:

AV-Comparatives November 2009 Test Missed Samples in Percentage Points

Here is an excerpt from the original article:

The results seem to suggest that the best antivirus applications that regularly rank highly in general malware tests are not necessarily as good at anti-adware, antispyware, and antirogue detection. That said, all 16 products detected at least 85 percent of the threats, which is respectable. Overall, we can say that the detection rate of PUAs is similar to the detection rate of general malware.

Kingsoft Internet Security VB100 August 2009

Below is a quote from the test result:

Polymorphic detection rates were up, and a very creditable score was achieved in the trojans set. Even the RAP sets produced some decent figures, all without causing any new false alarms. The polymorphic improvement extended to full coverage of the Virut variant on the WildList, and for this edition Kingsoft earns a VB100 award.

The productivity suite market is generally dominated by two main options: you either use the proprietary Microsoft Office suite or its open source alternative, Open Office. But if you don’t like either of them, I’m glad to inform you there’s a third choice.
