Siddharta Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Summary-Report December 2015 Release date: 19 January 2016 Summary Reports Annually we release a summary report that collates the results of the various tests. We then give awards and comment on product abilities. The Product of the Year award goes to the vendor whose software performed best overall in the main test series. Finally, a number of products which reached a very high overall standard are given the Top Rated award. The Summary Reports also include individual reviews of each of the programs tested by AV-Comparatives in the main test series. The reviews cover the program’s user interface and everyday tasks such as updating and scanning, to give readers an idea of what the software is like to use in real life, and how well-suited it is to both expert and non-expert users.

This year, both Bitdefender and Kaspersky Lab received an Advanced+ award in all of these tests, i.e. were equally high scoring. In such cases, we use the following as a tiebreaker: the product that has not won the award before or the product that won it less recently, is given the award. On this basis, AV-Comparatives’ 2015 Product of the Year award goes to Kaspersky Lab. Kaspersky Lab Top Rated Products 2015 This year, like last year, a number of products reached a very high standard in all our tests. Although we only have one Product of the Year, we recognise all those products with good overall results by giving them the AV-Comparatives Top Rated award. We have used the results over the year to designate products as “Top Rated”. Results from all the tests are assigned points as follows: Tested = 0, Standard = 5, Advanced = 10, Advanced+ = 15. Products with 90 points or more were given the Top Rated award, with two conditions. Firstly, any products that failed to win any award (i.e. got 0 points) in either of the Real-World Protection tests have not been considered. Secondly, good results in the performance tests cannot make up for weak results in the detection/protection tests. We intend to give the Top Rated award again next year, but the criteria may be modified. TOP Rated products for 2015 are, in alphabetical order: Avast, AVIRA, Bitdefender, Emsisoft, eScan, ESET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted January 20, 2016 Administrator Share Posted January 20, 2016 To me, these awards feel like a sport my country loves. Everyone takes part in it and plays it. But there is only one team who always wins it. Still ESET though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
