F-Secure, leader in antivirus and security software announced
that its F-Secure Anti-Virus solution was selected ‘as one of the
best’ in a comparative test of 12 antivirus solutions conducted and
published in Misc magazine - a monthly magazine specialised in IT
security.
Eric Filliol, of the Virology and Cryptology Laboratory of the
School of Applications and Transmissions published the results of a
comparative test of 12 antivirus solutions in Misc magazine
entitled “Assessment of anti-virus solutions: when marketing goes
against technology”.
Mr Fillion took into account two types of analysis for the
comparative test including a technical part and an assessment of
the usability of the solutions. With the publication of this
survey, Mr Filliol stated the case for F-Secure Anti-Virus 2005
accordingly: “A reference and certainly one of the best products.
Available for several platforms (Windows, Linux, several models of
mobile phones), this antivirus benefits from the know-how of one of
the best teams in the world in the field of antiviruses,” adding “
The web site of this editor is without a doubt the most complete
that you can find and is an invaluable help for the user. The
quality of the specific cleaners of this company should be saluted.
It’s currently the only vendor to offer tools capable of managing
certain rootkits thanks to the Blacklight application.”
“This distinction, granted by an expert in the IT security
sector, is for us acknowledgement of the expertise of F-Secure. Our
objective is to always assure optimal protection for users, by
protecting them from all threatening viruses,” comments Alexandre
Durante, General Manager of F-Secure France.
