The well-known company AV TEST published the results of the February 2019 tests. So if you're running Windows 10 and don't just trust Windows Defender to protect your device, read on.
This time, the new research came with surprises, and as you will see, high-profile security vendors such as Bitdefender and Kaspersky have failed to reach the top of the test scores.

Kaspersky Internet Security, which until recently was the ultimate leader of antivirus, received 17,5 units after it lost 0,5 points in its performance test.
