Real-World Protection Test
The Real-World Protection Test represents a rigorous evaluation of each product’s capability to defend against hundreds of malicious cases. These test cases span a wide range of current malicious sites, providing a comprehensive assessment of the protective capabilities of each product. The results of this test, as well as insights into false positives, are now available in the factsheet. However, for those seeking an in-depth analysis covering four months of ongoing testing, the full results will be published in December.

Malware Protection Test
The Malware Protection Test assesses each product’s effectiveness in guarding systems against infection by malicious files, both before and after execution. This evaluation includes detection rates and the product’s ability to prevent malicious programs from making unauthorized changes to the system. The products underwent testing with a set of around thousand malware samples. To ensure that security solutions do not compromise system performance with high false-alarm rates, a comprehensive false-positives test was also conducted with the Malware Protection Test.

Like all public test reports by AV-Comparatives, the factsheet is available for download free of charge and without the need for registration from the institute’s website. The August-September 2023 factsheet of the Business Main-Test Series can be found at the following link:

Certification by AV-Comparatives provides an official seal of approval for software performance, which is globally recognised. The story of AV-Comparatives began the way it does, with so many computer users, namely with a virus infection. In 1993, Andreas Clementi was hit by a computer virus: the “November 17 virus – NOV_17.855”. This awakened his interest. Andreas was not satisfied with the sometimes very contradictory tests of antivirus programs in computer magazines, and so began the intensive investigation of malware and antivirus software, which continues to this day. In 1999, he founded AV-Comparatives as a student project at the University of Innsbruck. This was done purely out of technical interest, to see how good the products of different manufacturers actually are. The response was enormous, as the manufacturers of antivirus software became aware of the duo in Innsbruck and wanted to take part in the tests.
