Now, just so you know it's all in German

And I am from Schweden and I don't understand a word of the German language. But I thought that I post this anyway since they use Green and Red colors, as well as + and - so it's quite easy to understand after all.

Just take it for what it is

 

I think it's a compilation of the results of the Q4 test from http://www.av-test.org/certifications.php

 

Thx SweX. Avast is not tested?

 

You are welcome. No unfortunately not.

 

Are you sure because there are more vendors in the av-test.org list of vendors?

 

Thx, being Dutch so German is as easy to read as Norwegian is for Swedish people, I find the extract/findings funny: and the winner is a German company Avira, while based on the individual tests I had expected G-data or Panda to be the overall winner

 

I found the same thing. GData should've won it accordning to me.

 

Well, the text kind of implies it.

 

Norton won first,Panda second and ESET third.Besides,glad that ESET has the best overall speed and performance in this test.This test showed Avira,McAfee and Norman only has "satisfactory" features while ESET,Btidefender,Kaspersky,F-Secure,Symantec,Trend Micro and Panda have "Good" features.Finally,GDATA has "very good"for its features.That means Gdata has provides the best protection features for its security suite.

 

I thought that the first aim of a security suite was to protect the user - ESET comes third overall but in the two malware tests it comes last and 7th
In fact if the results for security alone are considered the order is changed to
Panda Security
Kaspersky
F-Secure
Symantec
BitDefender
Avira
ESET
G Data
Trend Micro
McAfee
Norman

Also I don't understand the G Data result as both AV test tables have it above ESET and in the first one it achieved 100%

 

Same here...it's really clear!

 

Final Rating is...

 

Checking it!
