3. McAfeewas founded in 1989 by John McAfee. The company’s headquarters is in Santa Clara, CA, USA. In 1997,McAfee merged with Network General (a developer of network monitoring and management tools) to form Network Associates. In 2004, the company launched a restructuring program. It sold off Magic Solutions and Sniffer, reverted back toMcAfee and re-focused on security technologies. McAfee purchased rather than developed most of its security technologies. Specifically, it became a player in the antivirus market after acquiring S&S International (which developed antivirus products under the Dr. Solomon brand). In 2006, top managers of McAfee were implicated in a fraud scandal. The company’s president,Kevin Weiss,was fired and its CEO and Chairman George Samenukretired. In early 2007, the former McAfee general counsel Kent Roberts was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of fraudulent stock-option grant deals. McAfee: Principal facts

5. The Kaspersky VirusLab is located in asingle research center in Moscow. This makes it possible to train new analysts and share expert knowledge with minimal delays. The system for collecting malicious program samplesis geographically distributed, with honeypots placed in numerous locations, enabling analysts to receive samples almost as soon as after they appear “in the wild”. Kaspersky Lab uses unique tools to automate the collection and processing of malicious program samples.It takes just a few minutes to analyze malware samples and add their signatures to antivirus databases. Updates are tested automatically. Performing multiple operations in parallel accelerates the update testing process, which takes less than an hour. A broad range of proactive technologies developed by the company enable Kaspersky Lab products to detect most threats even BEFORE their signatures are released. Technologies:Kaspersky Lab’s VirusLab

18. Products: Scanning speedand impact on system performance

19. Products: Scanning speedand impact on system performance Experts from CNET Labs analyzed the impact of running an on-demand scan on the time it takes users to perform standard operations (such as converting music and video files). Kaspersky Lab products have a minimum impact on system performance.
