This test measures products' detection rates across four
distinct sets of malware samples. The
first three test sets comprise malware first seen in each of the three weeks
prior to product submission. These
measure how quickly product developers and labs react to the steady flood of
new malware emerging every day across the world. A fourth test set consists of malware samples
first seen in the week after product submission.
