Test Results

The results below are based on a test set consisting of 629 test cases (such as malicious URLs), tested from the beginning of August 2022 till the end of November 2022.

	Blocked	User dependent	Compromised	PROTECTION RATE [Blocked % + (User dependent %)/2]*	False Alarms
Avast	629	–	–	100%	10
Bitdefender	628	–	1	99.8%	1
G Data	628	–	1	99.8%	3

Kaspersky	627	–	2	99.7%	1
VIPRE	627	–	2	99.7%	4
WatchGuard	626	–	3	99.5%	68
VMware	625	–	4	99.4%	1
K7	625	–	4	99.4%	9
CrowdStrike	625	–	4	99.4%	25
ESET	623	–	6	99.0%	1
Trellix	623	–	6	99.0%	3
Microsoft	623	–	6	99.0%	5
Elastic	623	–	6	99.0%	10
Malwarebytes	623	–	6	99.0%	44
Cisco	621	–	8	98.7%	8
Sophos	616	2	11	98.1%	6
Cybereason	603	–	26	95.9%	10

 

* User-dependent cases are given half credit. For example, if a program blocks 80% by itself, and another 20% of cases are user-dependent, we give half credit for the 20%, i.e. 10%, so it gets 90% altogether.
