Original Post

AV-Comparatives.org has released their latest Whole Product Dynamic Real World Protection Test – March 2012.  An informative document will be updated several times over the course of the year.  What’s even more interesting than  the results alphabetically by vendor  is going online and sorting by performance.  Isn’t that what it’s all about? The numbers below are "percent captured".

  1. 99.8 – BitDefender
  2. 99.8 – G Data
  3. 99.4 – Kaspersky
  4. 99.2 – BullGuard
  5. 98.6 – Qihoo
The above constitutes a bit of reshuffling from the results published in November 2011.  Avast was the top performing free vendor, in the sixth position.  Tencent (85.0), McAfee (88.1), and Webroot (89.3) were the lowest performing vendors in the test.
