AV-Test Product Review and Certification Report - 2010/Q4

[SAMEERA]

AV-Test tested a range of paid and free security solutions running on Windows Vista for three months, namely October, November and December 2010, and made public the results today.

During the 4th quarter of 2010 we have tested 23 security products in the areas protection, repair and usability. The "Protection" covers static and dynamic malware detection, including real-world 0-Day attack testing.

In case of "Repair", we check the system disinfection and rootkit removal in detail. The "Usability" testing includes the system slow-down caused by the tools and the number of false positives.

A product has to reach at least 12 out of 18 possible points in order to receive a certification. 18 products have fulfilled our requirements and received an AV-Test certificate.

F-Secure top in usability? Did Av-test test products with 8 gb RAM and 50 mbps internet connection? For me F-Secure is slowest with web scanning enabled. How did they test comodo? Defense + will not allow malicious process to do any harm as the process rights are restricted and will not run after a reboot.

F-Secure seems to be achieving accolades all over
It was the top scorer in both AV-Comparatives and AV-Test

But the scores of Avira is really a cause for worry

[SAMEERA]

Congratulations to F-Secure! and nice to see my AV get superb results from the both two important AV test reports.
