Questions about which antivirus programs to choose, whether it is worth getting involved with illegal software and overpaying for official products are asked by both ordinary Ukrainians and company representatives. The site learned from information security experts what you should pay attention to when choosing an antivirus.

They refuse Russian

It is worth noting that the share of Ukrainian software in the segment is still very small. Products from Russian developers that were once quite widespread in our corporate environment have lost their position. As a result, the demand for Western programs increased.

“If we talk about ordinary users, the situation here is different, although this audience is gradually being “cleared” of Russian antiviruses. The corporate sector and government agencies, having changed their consumer preferences, contributed to the further growth of the share of Western antivirus software in our market,” said senior consulting engineer at IT-Integrator company Pavel Zolotarenko.

The corporate segment most often prefers security programs from ESET, Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro. Ordinary Ukrainians install ESET, AVIRA, Symantec, Bitdefender, AVAST, etc.

At the same time, the share of Ukrainian software is only about 0.5%, Russian - 1%, and Western - 98.5%.
However, some organizations continue to use Russian programs, either out of habit or due to dumping prices.

“As for domestic developers, they can still claim only a small part of state enterprises and home users. Commercial organizations do not consider domestic products at all due to an insufficient technical base,” said Miroslav Bondar, head of the information security solutions department of the BAKOTEK Group of Companies.

Kaspersky holds on

It is worth noting that in the public sector, vendor shares in information software sales have changed due to the imposition of sanctions against some manufacturers.

“The political situation has influenced the choice of both the average user and companies - hence the decline in demand for Russian software. Buyers are considering a “Western” alternative,” Anna Bodnarchuk, director of the licensed software supermarket Softkey-Ukraine, told us.

As for one of the major players in the market, Kaspersky Lab, whose headquarters is located in Moscow, being an international company registered in the UK, it continues to ensure the information security of Ukrainian citizens and companies. Although, they did not have it without difficulties.

"In 2015, as a result of inspections carried out by the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, the corporate solution Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows, produced by Kaspersky Lab UK Ltd., received a certificate of compliance with government regulations; in addition, the solution for home users was also certified Kaspersky Internet Security for all devices. This means that our products meet quality standards, they do not have undeclared capabilities and hidden program code. Our solutions can be used by a wide range of organizations and individuals. We continue to provide information security in Ukraine and try to pay more attention. to devote to their partners and clients,” said Dragan Martinovic, managing director of Kaspersky Lab in Eastern Europe.

How much does antivirus cost?

As for the cost of security software, prices have remained virtually unchanged over the past 2 years, but before that, due to a jump in currencies, they rose sharply.

“Antiviruses have risen in price respectively by 1.9 times for the home and 2.4 times for companies. The cheapest Western program for the home will now cost 347 UAH for one PC per year and 795 UAH for a company for five computers per year ", Victoria Shivarova, supply manager at MT-Soft, noted in a conversation with us.

On average, the cost of an antivirus for a home today is about 695 UAH for two PCs. For corporate clients from 25 users we are talking about 575 UAH per PC. As the number of PCs increases, the unit price decreases accordingly.

For example, the basic antivirus Kaspersky Antivirus 2016 for two devices costs 686 UAH per year. If you choose the flagship solution Kaspersky Internet Security with additional functions such as “Secure Payments”, “Parental Controls”, “Anti-Theft”, etc., then the cost for a license for two devices for one year will be 980 UAH. The cost of solutions for small businesses starts from UAH 5,040, which is the recommended price for protecting five devices and one server per year.

At the same time, vendors have several approaches to creating prices:

• Some offer prices in hryvnia without reference to exchange rates. Some had only one minor price increase. For example, DrWeb. For others, for example, ESET, the price increase took place in several stages.
• Others work at a commercial rate. These are, in particular, Symantec, TrendMicro and other Western developers.
• The third group pegs its prices to the commercial exchange rate, but makes special discounts. For example, 30% of b2c products for the local market were provided by Kaspersky Lab.

Manufacturers also take into account the situation in local markets and seasonal demand, so they periodically announce promotions for consumers with discounts of 10-30%.

What do people need

For home users, it is not only the reasonable price of the product that is important, but also high-quality service.
Companies, in order to save money, are increasingly purchasing software through a subscription, which allows them to make smaller payments once a year or monthly.

“At the same time, many are trying not to “save on matches” and are looking for other ways to optimize, so they have taken a course towards automating business processes, introducing CRM systems to retain customers and improve service. There is a growing trend in demand for total information protection and removal of all data to the cloud,” says Anna Bodnarchuk.

Antivirus software today has ceased to be just an antivirus as such. Solutions are actively developing towards integration. Developers add such features as firewalls, anti-phishing components and much more to the usual software.

“Customers have become more interested in solutions that either complement or completely replace the classic antivirus engine,” says Miroslav Bondar.

In fact, now customers who are competent in this matter ask “what do you have besides antivirus?” As a result, the demand for the following solutions is increasing:

• The so-called "sandboxes", i.e. complexes that perform static and dynamic analysis of files.
• The so-called “white list” mechanism, i.e. solutions that allow you to run a limited list of applications.
• Modules that monitor the behavior of running processes.
• Pirate traditions

At the same time, despite the fact that legal software continues to spread, gradually displacing pirated analogues, our market has not yet managed to overcome the “dullness”. The share of pirated security software in our country is not getting smaller.

According to a study by the international association BSA, in 2015, 82% of software installed on Ukrainian computers was unlicensed. And compared to 2013, the share of pirated software decreased by only 1%.

Hackers never sleep

At the same time, it is the avalanche of various ransomware (ransomware) on the one hand, and targeted attacks using phishing (a type of Internet fraud through sending fake letters) and elements of social engineering on the other - have become the trends that force organizations to strengthen the protection of their systems

The paradox of the situation is that over the past year we have noted a sharp increase in the number of samples that use primitive mechanisms to infect the system. In fact, it all comes down to activating the bait and then loading the main module (payload).

However, thanks to social engineering techniques, latency of signatures and high variability of baits, these samples successfully fulfill their task (extortion, espionage, disabling systems).

“The stable monetization of cybercriminals is spurring the malware market towards active development. This, in turn, is reflected in the number of new virus samples,” noted Miroslav Bondar.

At the same time, we can say with confidence that we cannot expect a decline in the activity of cybercriminals. At the end of 2015, Kaspersky Lab experts noted that this year in the business environment, an increase in the number of attacks on financial organizations, financial fraud on stock exchanges, as well as attacks on infrastructure and the use of IT vulnerabilities to penetrate corporate networks is predicted. Many of these predictions have already begun to come true.

Since the beginning of the year, information security experts have noted an increase in the activity of the BlackEnergy group in Ukraine. Since 2014, it has carried out attacks on energy companies and industrial control systems around the world using plugins targeting SCADA systems.

Kaspersky Lab experts came to the conclusion that our targets are of particular interest, including Ukrainian government agencies and media, which initially suffered from targeted attacks using DDoS tools.

By the way, at the beginning of the year, Ukraine entered the top five in terms of the number of DDoS targets; its share rose from an insignificant 0.5% at the end of 2015 to 1.9% in the first quarter of 2016.

BlackEnergy later expanded its arsenal and carried out a number of geopolitical operations, including attacks on several critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. Last year, the group actively distributed phishing emails with malicious Excel attachments that infected computers through macros, and in January 2016, Kaspersky Lab first discovered that malicious Word attachments were also used for these purposes.

“This once again proves that it is often a person who is the weak link in the information security system of any company, so a large organization should have specialists with sufficiently deep knowledge in the field of antimalware research,” Dragan Martinovic noted in a conversation with the site.

Zillya antivirus is an actively developing program to protect your computer from viruses and malicious content. A huge database of viruses, as well as special encoding, gives the program the ability to neutralize any threat before it is activated.

Simple design and configuration make it possible to fully use the Zillya antivirus even for those people who have only recently become acquainted with a computer.

With the development of computer technology and the Internet, it became possible to almost instantly receive the necessary information, exchange data and personal materials with friends or between large companies.

Now you can control your bank accounts, make purchases in online stores and even earn money.

But simultaneously with this development came the development and improvement of virus programs that can damage information on a computer or steal security codes, important documents and much more.

All this brings a lot of problems (and often very serious ones), but thanks to antivirus developers, it becomes almost impossible to infect a computer only if the user, due to inexperience, installs the malware himself and runs it.

Zillya Antivirus is the first powerful antivirus developed by Ukrainian professionals that can protect your computer.

Zillya antivirus review

The main features of this program are:

• Innovative design. Now the utility is just one button, in addition, the developers have made special business cards for viruses.

The latter is made specifically for the curious - so, if any malware is found, it is eliminated, and the user is shown what kind of application it was and what harm it could cause.

• Zillya antivirus is fully automated, that is, it copes with threats, updates and monitors the network connection without the participation of the user himself. This means that you no longer have to manually scan your computer for threats, update or download databases for your antivirus program. Of course, in the event of a controversial situation, the user will be notified in order to select the necessary action. The best part is that you can forget about pop-up banners and reminders.
• The Zilya antivirus database is very extensive- it already contains more than 5 million viruses and this number is growing every day. For more reliable protection, heuristic analysis is built into it - this means that all applications will be read by the antivirus before launching, and if virus encoding is detected, the user will be notified about trust in the program.
• Zillya antivirus for home use is provided absolutely for free. The first month you use it as a trial period, and then you can either buy the extended version or continue to use the standard one, but for this you will need to register using social networks.
• Company support service works quickly and, in case of incorrect operation of Zil or erroneous classification of any file as a virus, the support team will fix this problem.

• Easy setup. You no longer need to spend a lot of time setting up an antivirus, setting certain operating algorithms and the necessary resources. Now this is done with just two sliders, which set the protection levels, and the program itself does the rest.

• The user can view what exactly was on the computer, what danger it posed and, based on this, decide whether to use this resource.

We are testing the Ukrainian antivirus Zillya!

Now the Ukrainian antivirus Zillya! Sometimes it floats out in one place, then in another.

The first time I tested it on a virtual machine, it showed simply disgusting results. I saw few viruses, so I suggested sending some of the system files to quarantine. I even agreed with him, knowing that Windows would not boot after this, or at best, the desktop would not be shown because... it was suggested to send explorer.exe to quarantine. But everything turned out to be simpler and then the antivirus was unable to send the infectious file to quarantine.

Time passed, the antivirus began to appear more and more often, and a short interview with company representatives appeared. It's time to see what has changed in the antivirus and how suitable it is for protecting your computer at home. Or maybe Zillya! It’s worth offering to install it for a long time ago for a neighbor or an acquaintance who didn’t like it for some time. Let's see.

Initial data.

Advantages of Ukrainian Zillya! Antivirus

- Cost-free, reliable, efficient

-Reveals any threat

-Bagatory system to protect against spyware and advertising programs

-Unique technologies for recognizing new and unknown threats (heuristic analysis)

-Mitty blocking of insecure files that can penetrate your computer through postal notifications or Internet connections

-Possibility to install Zillya! Antivirus to detect infected computers

-Intelligent mechanism for selecting the optimal action against the identified threat

-Ukrainian support

The installation is performed on a virtual machine, Windows XP with SP 3. The machine ran a previously caught small collection of viruses and was not disconnected from the Internet, i.e. viruses could be downloaded and updated easily. This was done specifically for the purpose of maximum similarity with the real situation, when it is unknown where the virus is on the machine, nor the number of these same viruses.

This virtual OS is infected specifically for the purpose of using antivirus software.

The desktop looks like this:

Installing an antivirus.

What can we say, the antivirus itself is installed from the Internet, and when using a proxy server, you may need to enter the proxy data manually.

On the downside, if your computer is seriously affected and there is no access to the Internet, then this antivirus is not for you. It will be impossible to update or install it.

On the plus side, on an OS with a bunch of viruses that are already fighting among themselves Zillya! It installed normally, fulfilling the promises written on the site, but given that viruses do not know anything about this antivirus, this was to be expected.

Launch the scanner and select objects to scan.

The antivirus was installed, I did a reboot just in case. The antivirus itself did not require it, which makes you wonder how deeply the antivirus is built into the OS and whether it will be able to catch anything from complex viruses that hide from detection.

After a reboot, file monitoring did not start. Well, it didn’t start automatically, so let’s launch the antivirus manually. At the same time, the antivirus icon lit up in the corner, and the window of either the scanner or the control center appeared.

Yeah I think so. Now I’ll tell you to check the necessary folders, and I’ll go to lunch. But the joy did not last long. Custom scanning cannot be performed on several folders and drives at once. Only one directory at a time.

As you can see in the figure, you cannot put “checkmarks” next to the required folders. You also cannot select multiple elements using the Ctrl button. It may not be a small nuisance, but it is there. Okay, I'll give it a full check.

A short wait and here is the result. 157 viruses found. True, a quick review showed that no viruses were found that were hiding from detection. Maybe this is so only at first glance?

Treatment.

So the scanning process is completed, there are viruses detected. Now I’ll choose what I need to treat, go to manual actions, select an operation on one archive, such as ignore it, and click apply.

After a short treatment, I was already thinking of breathing more freely, the anti-vus dealt with what it found. But no.

Okay, I didn’t delete some of it, maybe it will delete it after a reboot. And just in case, I look at the scan results.

Oops, for some reason there are viruses with the inscription ignored.

I wonder what happened to the antivirus. I decided to repeat the search and treatment without manual operations. Maybe it will help.

While searching for a second time and finding viruses, I notice a false positive for the archive. In general, there are programs for Delphi and some often cause false positives of various antiviruses. But something else is interesting here. Having written that a virus was found in the archive, the antivirus did not indicate the most interesting thing: did it catch the virus in the contents of the archive or was the archive as a file mistaken for a virus? Uninformative, but not fatal in most cases.

Okay, the second scan is completed, 39 viruses were found. All actions are by default and click the apply button.

Just like the first time the window came out, lightning managed to remove everything. And again I look at the results of the treatment.

It must be admitted that it is disappointing, but at the same time we found out that the omission in the treatment in the past was most likely caused by a program error, possibly by incorrect behavior of the area responsible for manually selecting the type of treatment. Okay now for one more vital check. Will the disinfected OS be able to boot?

Judging by the screenshot, I couldn’t. The antivirus cured Windows to a pulp. Remembering a little of all my relatives, I download smokes from the Internet and see what is left alive from the viruses. I don’t want to figure out why Windows is crippled; most likely the problem is that the registry files were not corrected during deletion.

Finish

At the finish line, check how thoroughly Zillya is! coped with the scanning, where and what I missed. To do this, I used a utility from Dr.Web - CureIt!. omissions from the tested antivirus were immediately found.

I’ll also add that Zillya! does not scan files in the directory where Windows restore checkpoints are saved. This is a significant disadvantage for an antivirus. Cureit found several hundred virus files in control points!!!

Conclusions

What can be said in conclusions? At first, it’s probably easier to list the pros and cons of this solution in comparison with my previous test of this antivirus and in relation to other antiviruses.

Sexlessness

Scanning has improved

The bases have grown noticeably

The treatment method is chosen more correctly.

— the antivirus still does not have sufficiently low-level access to files. Perhaps it does not have a sufficiently tenacious resident module (I did not set out to test it).

- installation only from the Internet

— in the last test I mentioned problems with viruses like ntos .exe and the like, but this time the problem remained. Apparently, the Ukrainian antivirus is not yet able to pick out such files and detect them in the system. Although presented on a silver platter in the catalog, it was successfully caught.

— Windows malfunction after treatment.

— in my case, the resident module did not load when Windows started.

- errors in the program

As a result, we have a product that, after significant modification, can become quite competitive.

Currently Zillya! On a test machine I detected and quarantined or removed almost all viruses. I didn’t find just a few pieces and finished off the long-suffering Windows J

After modification, and it seems significant, a good product may turn out. It is already clear that last time there were changes for the better. Although we’ll see when the new version comes out, but for now it’s better to offer it to your enemies. What do you think?

P.S. Please don't blame me too much for mistakes.

Zillya! The antivirus program is designed for ordinary users, so there will be no problems during operation. You just need to install the application on your device and you can immediately start using it to the fullest extent.

Interface and virus database

The product developed by ALLIT Services LLC will help protect users from all common threats that can be accidentally encountered on the Internet. The manufacturer has taken care of a minimalist interface so that you don’t have to look for hidden sections in the settings. “Zillya!”, with normal settings, will show users only one button, which is also an indicator of system security.

In addition to the beautiful interface, the application works with a fairly large anti-virus database, which contains more than 3 million signatures, which means that any of your devices will be maximally protected from external intrusion.

Program features

Antivirus Zillya! It has many features that help users keep their data safe and secure:

In addition to desktop PCs and laptops, there are versions of “Zilya!” and for portable devices running Android OS. Here, users additionally receive the Anti-Theft function, which will protect their smartphone or tablet from theft and allow them to block and track the device remotely.
