Petrovic Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Results of protection: What’s better at detecting malware? How effective is your antivirus at stopping the latest threats? Here we have used averages of the protection scores offered by the four comparison sites. Do note, however, thatAVG, BullGuard, ESET, and Kaspersky were the only antiviruses to take part in all four tests – scoring them top marks in transparency if nothing else. Performance results: which impacts your PC’s performance the least? Antiviruses running in the background of your PC can slow it down. To know which will impact your machine's speed the least we looked at performance scores from AV-Comparatives and AV-TEST, before averaging their percentages. In the below table you can see the results of these analysis. Overall scores and winners of comparative In this final comparison we use protection and performance data, both with the same 50-50 weighting. This enables us to consider the importance of good security, alongside the impact on the operating system, to provide an overall result. The results are shown below on a scale of 0-10 (green bars), along with the amount of protection and performance tests it has participated in (orange line, up to a maximum of six). Final grade of protection and performance (green) and number of tests available (orange) To reward the antiviruses involved in more comparison tests (over those that only participated in a couple), we have applied a correction factor: 1 - Number of tests / 4. This penalizes products that only participated in three tests. The final results vary slightly because of this, as can be seen in this final chart: The winners: Avira, Kaspersky, Norton, Avast, and AVG Full Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURbit Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Quote to consider the importance of good security, alongside the impact on the operating system They failed to point out which OS they were working with. Would be helpful to users of different OS versions Win 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 32 or 64 bits. I see Win 10 mentioned and then it and Win 8.1 at the end of the full article. Still not saying x32 or x64 ""Powerful independent comparisons As we did last year, we have collected and analyzed the results of four independent comparison sites. Our selection of antiviruses is limited to those that’s detection data appeared in at least two comparisons."" I know KIS 2016 was giving me trouble since it was out in spring/early summer 2015, not allowing me to save favorites/bookmarks other than Fav's Bar and just recently was giving (0xc000000d) iexplore.exe failing to start with I guess update of kis16.0.0.614(d), this was on my Win 8.1 x64, Kaspersky forum members are reporting troubles with KIS 2016 as well. I just rolled back to KIS2015 (5 days ago) no such troubles now and Fav's/BM's are saved, IE doesn't crash. I also just started using Emsisoft AV current version since my roll back and all is well with my system and both play nice together, system is just as responsive if not more so.

BookCase Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The fact that it says Norton is the best makes me think this is staged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manju Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 strange to see a 2016 best AV chart..... would make sense if it was a "best" 2015, considering that 2015 as past and 2016 is just begining (being so, doesn't make sense a best 2016 AV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Manju you got a point we have only been in two thousand sixteen for ten days day ten is not half over yet. I cant hate norton there getting better mcafee intel is trying to make better I dont trust it I might start end of the year maybe.
