Effectiveness and efficiency of free antivirus software against malware

Four free pieces of antivirus software were evaluated with the objective of examining their performance and produced functions, both individually and as a group, when used to protect computers against malware. The aim was to determine whether it is convenient to use more than a piece of antivirus so...

description Four free pieces of antivirus software were evaluated with the objective of examining their performance and produced functions, both individually and as a group, when used to protect computers against malware. The aim was to determine whether it is convenient to use more than a piece of antivirus software at a time. 64-bit S.O. Windows 7 Professional computers and common utility tools were used for the evaluation. The aspects considered for evaluation were as follows: produced functions on the system, protection against threats, and general serviceability. Additional utility tools (for example AppTimer and BootRacer) were used in order to monitor functioning parameters of the software installed on the computer. Through the obtained results, it was possible to gain insight into the efficiency of the evaluated pieces of software both individually and as a group the latter being more expensive.

Para este proceso, se utilizó computadores con S.O. Windows 7 Profesional de 64 bits con varios programas utilitarios de uso común. Los aspectos considerados en la evaluación fueron: la carga de trabajo en el sistema,la protección ante amenazas y la utilidad en general. Se emplearon utilidades adicionales, como AppTimer o BootRacer para medir los parámetros de funcionamiento del software instalado en el computador. Los resultados obtenidos han permitido inferir la eficiencia de los antivirus tanto de forma individual y combinada, con la diferencia que la segunda modalidad requiere más recursos.Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí Manuel Félix López2015-06-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/ziphttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/115Revista ESPAMCIENCIA; Vol. 6 Núm. 1 (2015): REVISTA ESPAMCIENCIA 2015; 45-491390-8103reponame:Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstname:Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabíinstacron:ESPAMspahttps://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/115/98https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/115/752https://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/index.php/Revista_ESPAMCIENCIA/article/view/115/753info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-02-25T14:32:02Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/115Institucionalhttp://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttp://www.espam.edu.ec/http://revistasespam.espam.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador.1390-81031390-597Xopendoar:02025-02-25T14:32:02Revistas Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí - Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabífalse
