AV-Comparatives

For both the Consumer and Business Main Test Series, the participating products were put through the same types of test (consumer products were tested separately from business products, so the results of one test series should not be compared with another). The test types were as follows.

  • Real-World Protection Test – this checks protection against Internet-borne threats
  • Malware Protection Test – this verifies a program's ability to detect malicious files
  • Performance Test – a check on how much a security product slows down the PC
  • False-Positives Test – this assesses whether each program is prone to false alarms
  • Advanced Threat Protection Test – this optional test looks at protection against targeted attacks

Enterprise Endpoint Protection

The December 2019 Business Report certified the following business security products (in alphabetical order): Avast, Bitdefender, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Endgame, ESET, FireEye, Fortinet, K7, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Panda, Seqrite, Sophos, SparkCognition, VIPRE.

Products that achieve high scores across all the test types are rewarded with Top-Rated Product Awards.
