The security experts at AV-TESTS conducted a new series of tests on the antivirus programs currently available on the market. Generally speaking, major security products including McAfee, Bitdefender, Symantec, F-Secure, Kaspersky Lab got a good score in the March/April 2019 test results. The company revealed that all of them scored 6 points in the performance, protection, and usability test. The second batch of antivirus solutions included: Windows Defender, AhnLab, VIPRE Security, AVG, Avira, and Avast. Most Windows 10 users underestimate the capabilities of their built-in security product. This native security solution comes pre-installed on all Windows devices.
Windows Defender gets a high AV-TESTS score
The research conducted by AV-TESTS proved that Windows Defender is one of the best security solutions out there. Surprisingly, Windows Defender scored a total of 17.5 points. The individual scores for usability, protection, and performance are 6, 6 and 5.5 points respectively. As a matter of fact, the test results for the month of March and April show that Windows Defender provided 100% protection against 0-day malware attacks. When browsing the web, the built-in security solution didn’t generate any false alarms. However, the research firm performed a security scan and says that a legit application was mistakenly considered to be malware. This is not an alarming condition because AV-TEST considers 3 warnings as an industry average. Make sure you use a top-notch antivirus solution and install the latest patches as soon as they’re out to keep your computer protected. RELATED ARTICLES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
