How well does your anti-virus really protect you?
Not equally well, is the short answer. Find out which anti-virus products are consistently the best. And how we help make anti-virus improvements.
Latest reports now online
Welcome to the final set of endpoint security tests for 2016. We’ve spent the entire year scanning the internet for prevalent threats that affect real people and exposing popular security products to those same threats in real-time.
If you want an answer to the question, “How well does my anti-malware product protect me?” the reports we’ve published throughout the year should go some way to helping you either feel safe or make an informed decision on which product to change to. You can find these, and earlier reports, on our website.
Anti-virus improvements
But helping you, our readers, choose the best products is only part of our mission. We want products to improve, because even the best are not perfect. We offer the developers of these products the chance to engage with us and learn where the problems lie. At the end of each test we could say to them, “bad luck, you missed these threats. Better luck next time!”
But what we do is provide a huge amount of useful data to companies that want to work with us. This includes extremely detailed analyses of the threat itself, how it worked against individual products and forensic data proving what happened.
This data provides two benefits to the security companies: the first is proof that we’re not just making everything up! The second is an unbiased, third-party quality assurance service that can identify problems overlooked by in-house teams. In the end they benefit and so do you, if you use their products.
We’re trying to make things better. Thanks for your support throughout the year.
