The full report:
Important charts for the home users
One test means nothing, so I made a short report that includes the data from all three quarters in the year 2019.
Two categories were skipped: Ransomware and Exploit/Fileless. In the first category, all AVs blocked all Ransomware samples in the year 2019. The second is not relevant for the home users, because it was performed with highly vulnerable & unpatched (for years) software (this test can be relevant for enterprises and organizations).
Missed on first detection (number of samples: malware 1053, financial 265, PUA/Adware 25)
Symantec............0/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25.............= 1
Kaspersky...........0/1053 + 0/265 + 2/25.............= 2
Eset....................1/1053 + 0/265 + 2/25..............= 3
BitDefender.........1/1053 + 0/265 + 6/25.............= 7
Avira....................3/1053 + 1/265 + 3/25.............= 7
CrowdStrike.......7/1053 + 1/265 + 5/25..............= 13
Defender.............12/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25...........= 13
F-Secure.............10/1053 + 2/265 + 8/25............= 20
Avast..................26/1053 + 20/265 + 1/25......... = 47
Trend Micro.......46/1053 + 17/265 + 7/25..........= 70
Still missed after 24h
Symantec........0/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25...............= 1
Kaspersky........0/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25..............= 1
Eset.................1/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25=.............= 2
F-Secure..........2/1053 + 0/265 + 1/25...............= 3
BitDefender.....1/1053 + 0/265 + 6/25..............= 7
Defender.........3/1053 + 0/265 + 0/25.............. = 3
Avira................3/1053 + 1/265 + 3/25.............. = 7
CrowdStrike....4/1053 + 0/265 + 4/25...............= 8
Trend Micro....17/1053 + 0/265 + 2/25.............= 19
Avast...............17/1053 + 14/265 + 1/25...........= 32
The best: Eset, Kaspersky, Symantec, BitDefender. The last has slightly too much missed PUA/Adware samples.
The good: Avira, CrowdStrike, Defender, F-Secure
The rest: Avast, TrendMicro
In the final scoring, the PUA/Adware was treated as less important than malware and financial samples.
