It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Well, this an other reason that makes me recommend ESET. Someone should report this issue so that they can fix it. But.. Will they listen to us like quihoo? What if hackers start making new kind of ransomwares like these? They would shot a wide amount of computers!

This is really bad news... I hope this test serves as a bomb exploding in the face of KL developers and improve the boot protection.

There is a setting that cruelsister didn't changed/disabled (enabled by default) or tested, don't know whether the result would be the same, anyway They should fix this lack of boot protection as soon as possible...

I will try to move some threads and report this test in beta testing KL QA Bug Tracker...

Quite a poor result for Kaspersky, it did manage to detected it in the end, maybe it's just too slow at start up to protect the system from run on boot threat's , my Eset licence is due for renew this month was thinking about moving to Kaspersky i think i will just stay with Eset.

Thanks @cruelsister for the video
