Online, April 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - G Data Software, one of the world's first antivirus providers, today announced its Windows 7 virus protection solutions are now "Certified AntiVirus Desktop/Server" by ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon. With the constant evolution of security threats, it is important to remain on the cutting edge of virus detection, ensuring dependable service against malware and attacks. ICSA Labs routinely tests antivirus products to guarantee criteria compliance and quality assurance.

Products in the Desktop/Server category must protect individual desktops, laptops, and/or servers of residential users and organizations from malware attacks and are verified against updated test sets, as well as various threats and vulnerabilities. After rigorous testing, certification is issued only if the software meets the following criteria:

• Detects malware on-demand
• Detects and prevents the replication of viruses on-access
• Reports no false positives
• Logs the results of malware detection attempts
• Performs necessary administrative functions

"Having passed such rigorous testing means our customers can rest assured they are receiving the most up-to-date, comprehensive virus protection on the market," said Ed Johnson, senior vice president, G Data Software, Inc. "ISCA provides a great service for making purchasing choices and we are happy our products tested so well. "
