In a recent test, major anti-virus products were put into a lab environment and tested to see if they can be hacked using different exploits and even hardware.

Many threats today have focused on disabling anti-virus and security systems such as software firewalls. What good is running the latest and great anti-virus program when it is disabled.

This brings us to the winner of the test, our personal favorite; Kaspersky who brought in the Gold Self Protection Award successfully defending against 32 out of 33 malicious attempts to disable or other hinder the anti-virus product. Below are the top three results:

1) Kaspersky Internet Security 7

2) VBA Anti-Virus 3.11

Symantec Internet Security 2007

F-Secure Internet Security

3) ZoneAlarm Internet Security 7

Trend Micro PC-Cillin
