Anti-Virus software for home users
|
Here is a list of some well-known Anti-Virus software. The ~30 products on this list are potential candidates for the tests of AV-Comparatives (either for the big tests and/or for the separate tests). In the big tests we include only about 16-18 of the most well-known, high-quality anti-virus products which fulfill our minimum requirements (e.g. not too many false alarms or crashes, etc.) for inclusion and which vendors agree to participate in our tests. Please note that products which are tested by us and are able to get the STANDARD certification are in fact already good products, as they showed to provide good protection against a wide range of malware. Getting ADVANCED and ADVANCED+ is of course a bit even more difficult.
Also other products are already (or may get tested by) AV-Comparatives. There are also some other anti-virus products available, but many of them are mainly just using the (actual or old) engine of other vendors which are already included in the list above.
