20 Security Suites Put to the Test: More Protection for Windows 10

Despite the new protection concept in Windows 10, it needs a security suite for optimal system security. As the first test laboratory, AV-TEST evaluated 19 security packages under Windows 10 in a comprehensive two-month test, comparing them with the embedded Windows Defender.

......


Partially mixed detection performance
In the test, all the products were required to detect and eliminate just under 21,000 malware threats in the real-world test and the AV-TEST reference set. The initial test is especially difficult, as laboratory uses new and therefore unknown malware. The test involving the reference set evaluates whether the solutions can also detect a load of old known threats.

The suites from Symantec and Bitdefender are the only products that were each able to complete the detection test with a 100 percent score. The products from Avira, F-Secure, AVG, Ahnlab and Kaspersky Lab also detected everything error-free in the real-world test, but each overlooked old malware in the reference set. That is why they all achieved 99.9 percent. Well-known products from McAfee, G Data or ESET were unusually weak in the real-world test, with scores of 96.3 to 97.6 percent.

The best freeware product from Panda Security scanned with detection rates of 99.4 and 99.9 percent. Windows Defender, tested for comparison, detected only 87.7 and 99.5 percent.

You've got a v too much at the end of the link! :D
but each overlooked old malware in the reference set.
Oh noes, inactive malware doesn't get detected anymore, shocking! What do those AV-companies think removing not in the wild malware from their databases! :eek: :p

The link you posted doesn't work, remove the "v" from end.

AV-Test always has funny results (AV-Comparatives too).
