Kaspersky, from Russia.
Kaspersky has a high level of vigilance. It will prompt all processes or programs with dangerous behaviors, so many normal programs will be what it calls "false positives". In fact, just use it for a period of time and add normal programs to Kaspersky's trusted zone.
In the history of anti-virus software, there is a world record: allowing the scanning engine of an anti-virus software to scan a sample library containing all viruses that existed at that time without using a virus signature library. The result is that, relying solely on "heuristic scanning" technology, the engine set a record of 95% detection rate. This record was created by AVP.
Kaspersky is not as famous as Norton in China, and many people may still be unfamiliar with it, so I will focus on it here. Kaspersky is headquartered in Moscow, the capital of Russia. Kaspersky Labs is an internationally renowned information security leader. The company provides anti-virus, anti-hacker and anti-spam products for individual users and corporate networks. After fourteen years of fighting against computer viruses, it has been hailed as the best product for virus protection by many professional computer media and anti-virus professional evaluation organizations.
In 1989, Eugene Kaspersky began to study the phenomenon of computer viruses. From 1991 to 1997, he led a group of assistants to develop the AVP anti-virus program at the Information Technology Center of the large Russian computer company "KAMI". Kaspersky Lab was established in 1997, with Eugene Kaspersky as one of the founders.
In November 2000, AVP was renamed Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Eugene Kaspersky is a member of the Computer Anti-Virus Researchers Association (CARO).
