Kaspersky’s Anti-Virus for Windows 7 released as “prototype”
So far, there are three “official” anti-virus partners for the Windows 7 beta – AVG, Symantec (with Norton 360 3.0 beta) and Kaspersky Lab, with the latter announcing the release of its Windows 7 solution as a “technical prototype”.
Announcing a “new antivirus engine” in “technical prototype” form, Kaspersky Lab has made its Windows 7 antivirus solution available for free download to Windows 7 beta users.
Promising “complex antivirus protection from all types of Internet threats”, as antivirus and security companies are wont to do, the release underscores Kaspersky’s desire to be seen as a fast security mover in an ever changing threat landscape.
Alexey Kalgin, Director Product Marketing, Corporate Business Division, Kaspersky Labs said:
“We knew the release of the new version of Windows would be a huge event for the IT community, which is why we were prepared for it.
