The results of this test, as well as insights into false positives, are now available in the factsheet.

Malware Protection Test
The Malware Protection Test assesses each product’s effectiveness in guarding systems against infection by malicious files, both before and after execution. This evaluation includes detection rates and the product’s ability to prevent malicious programs from making unauthorized changes to the system. The products underwent testing with a set of around thousand malware samples. To ensure that security solutions do not compromise system performance with high false-alarm rates, a comprehensive false-positives test was also conducted in conjunction with the Malware Protection Test.
