Kaspersky Safe Kids certified by AV-Comparatives for protecting children from adult content
Kaspersky Safe Kids for Windows has received an ‘Approved’ certificate from AV-Comparatives, the independent testing organization, for its ability to protect kids from pornographic content. According to test results, Kaspersky Safe Kids blocked 98.6% of adult websites. For the second year in a row, this was the only parental control solution out of those submitted that could reach the certification requirements.
In order to be certified by AV-Comparatives, a product must block more than 98% of pornographic websites, have zero false alarms on child-friendly sites, and have no severely unresolved bugs or design flaws. For this report, AV-Comparatives tested parental control solutions against 1000 sites with adult content and checked the response from 100 obviously child-friendly webpages for false positives.
AV-Comparatives also mentioned the flexibility of configuring time limits, among other key features. Parents can choose individual settings for different days or set these to change between weekdays and weekends. In addition, Kaspersky Safe Kids provides parents with a wide range of monitoring and control functions. It is available for Windows 8.1, 10 and 11.
‘It is an honor for us to receive this prestigious award from the independent testing organization AV-Comparatives. Kaspersky Safe Kids, for the second year in a row, is the only solution out of all of those provided by vendors to pass all certification requirements in blocking adult content. We very much appreciate this recognition and believe it can help us improve our technologies, as well as empower parents to make informed decisions when it comes to such an important area as online safety for kids,’ comments Marina Titova, Vice President, Consumer Product Marketing at Kaspersky.
