AV-Comparatives Releases Latest Insights on Consumer Security Solutions
AV-Comparatives, the trusted name in independent antivirus testing, has just published the second half of its 2024 Real-World Protection Test results, covering the period from July to October. This in-depth assessment continues our commitment to helping consumers stay informed about the effectiveness of various home-user security programs in protecting against the latest online threats.
In this round, 16 leading security solutions were rigorously tested to evaluate their real-time effectiveness against genuine, current threats. We replicated real-world attack scenarios, assessing how well each product prevented active threats from making any modifications to the test systems. To enhance consumer experience and minimize interruptions, a comprehensive false-positive test was also conducted. Products with high false-positive rates saw adjustments in their award rankings, reinforcing our focus on practical, reliable performance.
The programs evaluated in the second half of 2024 are the same well-known security solutions tested in the first half of the year, including: Avast Free Antivirus, AVG Internet Security, Avira Free Antivirus, Bitdefender Total Security, ESET HOME Security Essential, F-Secure Internet Security, G Data Total Security, Kaspersky Standard, McAfee Total Protection, Microsoft Defender Antivirus, Norton Antivirus Plus, Panda Free Antivirus, Quick Heal Internet Security, TotalAV Antivirus Pro, Total Defense Essential Antivirus, and Trend Micro Internet Security.
Out of these, six products demonstrated outstanding performance, achieving the “ADVANCED+” level, the highest award. This group includes Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, ESET, and McAfee, all of which provided strong defenses against a diverse range of threats.
As with every round of our Consumer Main-Test Series, AV-Comparatives is committed to transparency. Our detailed test report is available to everyone, free of charge and without registration, ensuring that consumers have unrestricted access to the data they need to make well-informed security decisions.
