All achieved excellent results.

 

Nice!
Good work for top performers

 

congrats to norton , kaspersky , f-secure, panda

good work ...


just 1 confusion

how could F-secure score 92 in slowdown ?? :0 .. its supposed to be heavy compared to others


Also looking at score , i guess kaspersky is real winner in this

 

It is way lighter than Kaspersky and Panda in my eyes , it is only quite slow at boot time but on normal usage it is really quite light.

 

ok, ya i installed it and it slowed my boot , so i uninstaller it

1 more imp thing is kaspersky has scored very good in removal on post execution which is impressive as there is no security product close to its score


another confusion ... MSE scoring high on slowdown ... i have not installed it ever but i always heard that it was light

i wish they gave out details of test

 

I tried MSE several times, and it just ain't light. In contrary, I think most people experience it as light since it looks really simple.

 

Comodo, Dynamic test, Malware Blocking=100 % I guess that here is where the full suites are tested.

Protection against 0 day malware... here only counts the detections of the AV?


Bullguard better than norton in protection? I think the score system is a bit weird.

 

Up now, with reports, at http://www.av-test.org/certifications

 

It's too bad they're comparing AVs to complete suites. It's hard to make out a proper 'winner' of the test as there are several contenders that could be better than the other. Obviously, features x + y + z combined is going to protect you more than only feature x.

 

AVG and webroot internet security have done really good...I am just a little shocked tho in a good way

 

Some more official testing of Vipre; good results.

And the MSE version tested was not the latest, which IME, is lighter and the engine has been overhauled to give better protection.

 

This test is certainly a champion of surprises. The biggest in my opinion is almost perfect performance in the category of BullGuard detection. Another pleasant surprise was the 360 ° that Trend Micro seems to have succeeded in giving with your antivirus, although the performance is not perfect, surely it is much better than it used to be. And yet it is worth mentioning the great performance in testing for Kaspersky removal and protection against malware recently. It was expected a good performance from him, but the results do not cease to be amazing.

 

It is a very common misperception. It is not light.

 

F-Secure low in system impact...

 

For those who understand this report, can you let me know why Comodo was not certified?

Good job by KIS.

Thanks

 

Anybody can answer this, the diference btw the Dynamic malware blocking test an the Protection against 0-day malware?

 

AVG is fine
