C 23 to 25 October in the French city of Laval held the first congress iAWACS (International Alternative Workshop on Aggressive Computing and Security), initiated by the Graduate School of Informatics, Electronics and Automation (ESIEA). As part of this event were tested for anti-virus 7 to break the system of self-defense within one hour.

Tests were run on computers running the Windows operating system with administrator rights, so that conditions were more realistic. In total, it took about an hour.

As a result of organized ESIEA testing revealed that anti-virus software manufacturers such as Kaspersky Lab and Eset can be hacked in 40 and 33 minutes respectively. At the same time in order to circumvent the protection of Norton Antivirus, will need only 4 minutes. Unsuccessful all turned out to be anti-virus McAfee – he “surrendered” in less than 2 minutes. Also, a test of self-defense are not logged AVG and G Data.

The only anti-virus, which can not be put out of action for an hour, which conducted the test was Russia’s Dr.Web. All producers who participated in the testing, was given information about the found vulnerabilities.
