PC Anti-Virus Protection 2011

This test aims to compare the effectiveness of the most recent releases of popular anti-virus software1. The products include those from Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Norton (Symantec) and Trend Micro, as well as free versions from Avast, AVG and Avira. Other products include those from BitDefender, ESET, G-Data and K7. The tests were conducted between 07/07/2010 and 22/07/2010 using the most up to date versions of the software available.

A total of 12 products were exposed to genuine internet threats that real customers could have encountered during the test period. Crucially, this exposure was carried out in a realistic way, reflecting a customer’s experience as closely as possible. For example, each test system visited real, infected websites that significant numbers of internet users were encountering at the time of the test. These results reflect what would have happened if those users were using one of the seven products tested.
