Comparison of Antivirus Software
Papica, Jiří ; Havránek, Martin (advisor) ; Benda, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on comparison of selected anti-virus programs and subsequent choosing of the most suitable one for given computer.
The thesis consists of two major parts. The first part focuses on anti-viruses and malware, which are divided into various types. In addition to the anti-virus section there are topics which are covering things like anti-virus tools and mechanism, e.g. firewalls and heuristics. At the end of the theoretic part there are topics which are briefly touched upon, topics like hardware basics of every computer which are later on important for the actual testing parts.
The second major part of this thesis is about choosing the right attributes for ani-viruses, about choosing the right criteria for their future evaluation and finally the measurement of said criteria. The criteria that were chosen are thus: price, time it takes for video to be rendered in Sony Vegas Pro, time it takes for GPU benchmark to finish, time it takes for CPU benchmark to finish and finally the last criteria that was picked is the effectiveness against real-life threats. Anti-virus programs that were being evaluated are Eset Smart Security 9, Norton Security Deluxe, Avast! Internet Security and lastly Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The recorded values were converted into a point-based system, which allowed for clear and evident illustrations via graphs and charts. From the final graphs and charts I was able to recommend the most suitable anti-virus for given computer.
