Consumer Malware Protection Test September 2020

We released our Consumer Malware Protection Test. Any samples that have not been detected e.g. on-access are executed on the test system. A false alarm test is also included. While in the Real-World Protection Test the vector is the web, in the Malware Protection Test the vectors can be e.g. network drives, USB or cover scenarios where the malware is already on the disk 

Independent Austrian antivirus testing lab AV-Comparatives has released the report of its September 2020 Malware Protection Test for consumer security programs. 17 popular anti-malware apps were put through their paces. To ensure that the tested programs do not protect the system at the expense of high false-alarm rates, a false-positives test is also run. The report shows both the protection and false-positive rates, and can be downloaded free from the AV-Comparatives website.
