AV-Comparatives Awards 2022 for Total Defense
Total Defense achieved great success in AV-Comparatives’ Consumer Main-Test Series of 2022. The tests covered different protection scenarios, system performance, and false positives.
Total Defense Essential Anti-Virus is easy to install, and presents a very simple program interface that makes the most important functions easy to find. In our functionality check, external USB drives were automatically scanned on connection, and highly sensitive on-access protection proactively deleted malware on a network share as soon as we opened it in Windows File Explorer. Help articles are clear and well illustrated.
AV-Comparatives’ tests are very carefully designed and executed to thoroughly and realistically simulate scenarios that face users in real life. Consequently, a certification by AV-Comparatives is a guarantee of an effective and reliable product. An “Approved Product” award means that the software has been rigorously checked to ensure that it will perform its intended task competently. It is an industry-recognised standard of quality.
AV-Comparatives’ tests have multiple aspects, to represent the different requirements of IT security solutions. Further awards highlight the effectiveness of individual programs in different protection scenarios, low false positives, and low impact on system performance. Users can thus see which programs score highly in the categories that matter most to them.
