MrBrian · Jan 15, 2014

From http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2013/abstracts/sponsorAV-Test.xml:

Test procedures, individual tests, test categories, long-term tests - more than 3,000 individual and comparative tests per year. We know our business. But who knows about AV-TEST's history and who we are?

In their presentation, Andreas Marx and Maik Morgenstern will cover aspects and methodologies. They report on expert knowledge and research. The presentation includes the innovations by AV-TEST GmbH in the area of security software testing over the past decades, as well as a detailed description of all test criteria. Furthermore, we explain why we consider Microsoft's AV solutions to be the 'Baseline' and how they perform in comparison with other 'out-of-the-box' protection of operating systems like Google Android, Apple OS X and Linux.
