CIS and NIS and unknown malware

guest · Nov 7, 2010

Introduction
Our task was to make a comparison of how are Comodo Internet Security 2011 (CIS) and Norton Internet Security 2011 (NIS) effective against unknown malware. We were asked to find 20 malware samples detected neither by CIS's anti-virus engine, nor by the anti-virus engine of NIS. Both CIS and NIS implement security features that should protect users from malicious attacks performed by locally executed malware even if it is not yet included in their anti-virus databases. The primary evaluation criterion of the products' efficiency in fighting unknown malware was whether or not the malware was able to infect the system so that it persisted in the system after the reboot. Secondary criteria were whether the system was damaged or some important changes to the system settings were made by the actions of malware, and whether any information leaked from the tested machine to a malicious server on the Internet.
This report is delivered with the archive of all the used malware samples. The archive is protected with password “infected”.
