In its October 2006 issue, the leading US IT-focused CNET Reviews found Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 to be the best anti-virus application it had tested this year.

In performance tests and in results from independent anti-virus testing organisations, the Russian anti-virus manufacturer Kaspersky scores highest marks against its well-known competition.

CNET Labs was impressed with the straightforward, no-nonsense interface that does not try to sell additional Kaspersky products. According to the review, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 still stands heads and shoulders above the latest Norton and McAfee products and thus deserves our Editors` Choice for anti-virus protection." The full review can be found under the link: http://reviews.cnet.com/Kaspersky_Anti_Virus_6/4505-3667_7-32004282.html?tag=sub.

Adrian Noble, Kaspersky Product Manager at local distributor Biodata IT, adds: "Since CNET is perceived as one of the world`s most trustworthy source of IT-related information and objective independent analysis, I think this review will really convince those who had any doubts regarding the quality and performance of Kaspersky products. Their anti-virus solution is easy enough for beginners but with customisation features that will also please the more advanced users."

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 combines reactive anti-virus detection with the latest proactive technologies to provide solid and dependable protection against malicious programs. The application is capable of on-the-fly scanning of e-mails and Internet traffic, proactive defense against the latest malicious programs, optimal anti-virus scanning, protection from rootkits, instant database updates, simplicity and ease of use.

"Next Friday I will hold a workshop on the Kaspersky products and look forward to interested resellers signing up for it on our Web site under Training and Workshops," says Noble.
