In almost all of our malware-infested test systems, Kaspersky's real-time protection dealt with active threats upon installation. In some cases multiple 'special disinfection' scans and reboots were required before it was able to do a full scan.
Kaspersky's default action is to prompt the user for action with less risky threats, and automatically remove more serious threats. We repeatedly clicked the 'fix it now' button after each scan until all threats were removed. Often, there was no visible effect after clicking the button. We had to click over and over again until everything was cleared up.
93 percent of the malware samples were detected by Kaspersky. After removal, Kaspersky left behind lots of non-executable traces and many executable. Its overall score here was very satisfactory as far as our tests are concerned.
In a rootkit removal test, covering both keyloggers and malware, and a scareware (rogue security software) removal test, Kaspersky scored excellent scores with tests against rootkits and tests against scareware.
