We installed this security solution on a Windows XP SP2 ma-chine, which was
already infected with some common virusesand spyware. This solution successfully
detected and deleted allofthem. Further, we took a USB pen drive that had
approximately9000 viruses; most ofthem were self-executable files, zipped,zipped
up to 2nd level, and some macro viruses. We ran anti-virusscan on this drive and
were able to delete approximately 95% ofviruses. For checking its antispam
capabilities we placed our spamcollection onto our test mail server and started
downloading it tothe machine, which had this software installed on it. It could
de-tect around 60% ofspams, which is less compared to the QuickHeal Total
Security 2007 that detected 75-80% ofspams. But thissolution learns with time.
For checking its Firewall capabilities weran Nessus and this one showed zero
vulnerability, compared toNorton 360 (reviewed October 2007) in which Nessus
showedone open vulnerable port. We also exposed this security softwareto DOS
attack and the Arpspoof(for IPSdetection) attack. It successfully detected and
blocked the DOS attack, but was not ableto detect the Arpspoofattack.
