That's it AV-TEST carried out a new series of tests to determine the best anti-virus for Windows 7. This time a total of 25 security products joined together with the number one operating system in the world.
As expected, its Security Essentials Microsoft, που διατίθεται με δωρεάν permission of use on Windows, was used as a reference and comparison product for the new round of testing. Microsoft's product received 0 out of 6 points for protection, 4 out of 6 for performance, and 6 points for usability.
Apart from one product that received the certification, AhnLab: V3 Internet Security 8.0, all the others performed relatively poorly during the test and of course the score did not go up, which shows that the protection offered to users is minimal.
Όσον αφορά την προστασία τώρα, τα προϊόντα ασφαλείας από της Trend Micro, G Data, McAfee, MicroWorld, F -Secure, Kaspersky, Qihoo, Bitdefender, και της Avira έλαβαν τις υψηλότερες βαθμολογίες.
No product has been able to get the highest scores on performance tests, but Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2014, Tencent PC Manager 8.5, McAfee Internet Security 2014, Kaspersky Internet Security 2014, Qihoo 360 Internet Security 4.2, and Bitdefender Internet Security 2014 earned the highest rating.
From the point of view of usability, almost every anti-virus product tested has had impressive results, with the exception of Comodo Internet Security Premium 6.3 and Norman Security Suite Pro 10.1, which rank among the lowest score products.
The major winners of the new AV-TEST trial are Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 and Bitdefender Internet Security 2014, which received the highest scores for protection and usability and scored virtually perfect in performance tests.
The best freeware anti-virus software on the market is once again Avira Internet Security 2014, which also received a very good rating on protection and usability, but it only got 3,5 points from 6 for performance. Both AVG and avast! Free Antivirus 2014 run quite well, but in the latter case, security technicians have only provided 3 degrees for the protection provided to consumers using Windows 7 64bit operating systems.
"During January and February 2014, we continuously evaluated 25 security products, using their default settings. We have always used the latest publicly available version for all the products we tested. We updated them and let them update themselves, from the cloud services they use. ” said AV-TEST.
“Εστιάσαμε σε ρεαλιστικά σενάρια δοκιμών και δοκιμάσαμε τα προϊόντα ενάντια σε πραγματικές απειλές που κυκλοφορούν στο Internet. Τα προϊόντα έπρεπε να αποδείξουν τις ικανότητές τους, χρησιμοποιώντας όλα τα components και τα στρώματα προστασίας.”
