nir Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 New research provides look at antivirus performance If you’re still looking for third-party antivirus protection and don’t know which product to choose, the security researchers over at AT-TEST have conducted a new study to determine the best solution for Windows 10. And the results come with a few surprises. The research conducted in September and October 2018 put nearly the same security products on the leading positions. For example, the maximum rating of 18 points goes to Avira Antivirus Pro, Bitdefender Internet Security, BullGuard Internet Security, Kaspersky Internet Security, Microworld eScan Internet Security Suite, and Symantec Norton Security. Certainly, you wouldn’t expect apps from BullGuard and Microworld to match the performance of top security vendors like Kaspersky and Bitdefender, but according to AV-TEST, all these products gained six points for each of the three tests evaluating protection, performance, and usability. Windows Defender’s performance The worst performance is also unexpected, as Malwarebytes Premium got the lowest score in this round of antivirus test. The app scored just 4 points for protection, 5 points for performance, and 4.5 points for usability, with a final rating of 13.5 points. It was also the security product with the lowest score for the malware protection it offered during the tests. When it comes to performance, G Data InternetSecurity was the application that couldn’t keep up with the others, gaining just 4 points in this research. For usability, PC PItstop PC Matic got only 3.5 points. As far as the default protection system in Windows 10 is concerned, the performance is once again impressive. Windows Defender, which comes by default enabled in Windows 10, got a total score of 17 points thanks to 5.5 points for protection, 5.5 points for performance, and 6 points for usability. It’s the second time Windows Defender gets super-close to the top security products on the market, and if the same trend is maintained, it could become a leading solution in the coming months.

mkc21 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 what does performance mean in this case? Speed of analysis, etc? or more related to performance impact on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AchieVer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The performance of any AV is based on certain set of parameters and subsequently they are rated on how well they perform on those parameters . With Regards to the performance impact on the PC , I supposed it’s difficult to beat WD as it’s an integral part of the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're correct my friend, but I particularly like Bitdefender Endpoint Security Business, I think it has a good performance and excellent detection, after installing it I did not have any more problems with virus, but of course almost all the tools we use here to save activations among others, are detected as trojans and other false positives by their coding similarities.

Ryrynz Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Obviously not, don't worry that'll always remain a good Antivirus/malware prog. Nice to see MS has their shit together, most uses can just be done with Defender, maybe just set it to update a bit more often though in the group policy management. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/manage-protection-update-schedule-windows-defender-antivirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzenfreund Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 UPDATE Nov 29, 2018 Test results All candidates comfortably reached the minimum requirement for certification as adequate. The following achieved full marks: Avira, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, MicroWorld and Norton/Symantec. Close behind come: AhnLab, Bullguard, F-Secure, McAfee, Trend Micro and Vipre. All 11 above products received the characterization of “Top Product”. As for Windows Defender on board the system, after ist recent high performance, fell again in the last third of the classification. This is because the it’s very crowded at the top.
