AV-Comparatives.org Whole Product Dynamic Test – AV-Test.org Certification Test Combined

The table below combines the top 10 products from AV-Test.org and their Q1 certification test on Windows 7 with AV-Comparatives.org and their Whole Product Dynamic Test (January through June). The top 10 products making the cut were BitDefender Internet Security Suite 2011, F-Secure Internet Security 2011, Norton Internet Security 2011, G Data Internet Security 2011, Panda Internet Security 2011, Kaspersky Internet Security, AVG Internet Security 2011, Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 9.5, and Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2011, and Eset Smart Security 4.2.

For AV-Test.org (22 products), scores in Protection, Repair, and Usability were averaged together. The top score achievable for each category was 6.0. The product also had to be certified. For AV-Comparatives.org (17 products), the percent of malware blocked during the January through May timeframe was used.

About the Results

You probably will never see this table on either web site. It’s interesting that the same three products were in the top three in each test. Kudos to them. If this were a top 12 table, Avast and Avira would have made the cut. Five products failed to achieve certification by AV-test.org.

Go to www.av-test.org to see the 1-page reports for each product and to view the individual scores for Protection, Repair and Usability. The table is sortable.

Go to http://www.av-comparatives.org/en/comparativesreviews/dynamic-tests to play with the interactive table. You can also modify the time period and view results.
