I think Kaspersky's regression is serious, you can see that Kaspersky doesn't remove viruses, but ESET, BitDefender, Avast, can remove viruses (ESET is to use LiveGuard to remove viruses)
These images depict the results of tests against the fakeapps and swimsnake viruses

Screenshots of tiered products doesn't really say much
These tests only have some screenshots,but i have another tests,have video but its chinese,because this tests are from a chinese forum(精睿论坛官网|精睿.网络安全|ESET论坛|NOD32|激活|vc52|安软联盟|麦田守望者论坛 - Powered by Discuz!)

In the video, the active defense of the double-click test is performed

This link takes me to a page that requires an ios app to be installed to view the video which i wont install or am i doing something wrong, just wanted to know about who is doing the tests…

On the main av testing sites kaspersky is still the same…i dont know much about these sites though

not surprised more such tests pls
 
I also think it has fallen a lot, after the US left, everything at Kaspersky has been going wrong, Eset, Bitdefender and Avast have been growing a lot.
this is network issues,because kaspersky does not provide sevice in us now,i can use it because im in china,kaspersky has agent in china,if you want to continue use kaspersky,maybe you can try to buy it on china official,but cant use vpn

KASPERSKY... Kick-Ass Security Protects Everyone Reliably, Safely, Keenly, Yeah! 😊
But if K is going to deprecate its free version, combined by US ban, it will be deprived of considerable percentage of users telemetry, and it may show some decline in the future.

@Everyone: I promise this will be my first and last opinion about this kind of posts:

Well, any comparison is subjective, and brings many insights to take decisions about choosing x or y protection product. Every product has features, advantages and benefits depending on each company / end user pretentions.

However...

Compare products without knowing all details (i.e. product settings) it's not fair. Lack of details about how this tests are performed can create many dobuts too for newbies and experts.

IMHO: The problem of ransomware is not the ransomware itself. It's the strategy at corporate and personal level you define to protect your data. I saw different product comparisons made by companies and end users. At the end, the results depend on your real needs, concerns and expectations. And of course, your preferences and available budget.

In different forums, is usual to see people shouting out that "Kaspersky does not detect malware". My suggestion: if you consider Kaspersky is bad: It's ok. If you consider Kaspersky is good: it's ok too! This kind of opinions are mostly based in experience using AV, EPP or even EDR products. But is important always to create an opinion not "just because" or "for the sake of controversy", but bringing enough arguments avoiding any kind of bias.

Next time, please ask all details about configuration of product, you will get a real surprise. ;)

BTW: Video soundtrack was amazing. I love Asian music too. :cool:
