AV-Comparatives has released their report for their Dynamic
Real World Protection Test, illustrating results alphabetically by vendor. This report is for October. Looking at results in order of performance is
much more interesting!
The top three vendors scored 100% and the next two
99.6%. Quite nice!
- BitDefender
- Trend Micro
- F-Secure
- G Data
- Kaspersky
The Dynamic Real World Protection Test (alphabetical
results) is available on the AV-Comparatives web site. The nice thing about the Whole Product
Dynamic Real World Protection Test done by AV-Comparatives.org is that you can
select the timeframe. A four-month
report will be available in December.
The freemium vendors – Avast (eighth), Avira (ninth), and
AVG Technologies (seventeenth). PC Tools (twentieth, 89.9%) and Webroot
(twenty- first, 91.0%) brought up the rear.
To read Webroot’s blog on AV-Comparatives’ Real World Test
(they are not fond of it), go to http://blog.webroot.com/2012/07/19/webroot-bulletin-regarding-av-comparatives-results/
As always, it's best to be informed about results. There is some truth to about the wisdom of crowds. With respect to capture rates and Facebook fans? Not so much.
