Test Results

The results below are based on a test set consisting of 526 test cases (such as malicious URLs), tested from the beginning of March 2023 till the end of June 2023.

	Blocked	User dependent	Compromised	PROTECTION RATE [Blocked % + (User dependent %)/2]*	False Alarms
Kaspersky	526	–	–	100%	0
Bitdefender	526	–	–	100%	2
VIPRE	525	–	1	99.8%	6
Avast	525	–	1	99.8%	15
ESET, Microsoft	524	–	2	99.6%	1
G Data	524	–	2	99.6%	4
Elastic	524	–	2	99.6%	6
K7	523	–	3	99.4%	2
Trellix	523	–	3	99.4%	10
CrowdStrike	523	–	3	99.4%	30
Watchguard	520	–	6	98.9%	23
CISCO	519	–	7	98.7%	8
Sophos	515	1	10	98.0%	5
Cybereason	506	–	20	96.2%	15
VMware	503	–	23	95.6%	1

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.
