AV-Comparatives AV-C Survey 2026

Disclaimer
  1. This test shows how an antivirus behaves with certain threats, in a specific environment and under certain conditions.
    We encourage you to compare these results with others and take informed decisions on what security products to use.
    Before buying an antivirus you should consider factors such as price, ease of use, compatibility, and support. Installing a free trial version allows an antivirus to be tested in everyday use before purchase.

Hi everyone, as every year, I'm sharing our AV-C survey link in this subforum, known for its readers interested in security software and related topics:

It's that time of the year again! We invite you to participate in our Annual Security Survey: Powered by LimeSurvey – The Freshest Online Survey Tool

Your insights are invaluable, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Feel free to spread the survey link among your friends. The results will be unveiled in Q1/2026 on our website. Thanks in advance! (y)
 
About this survey

This is AV-Comparatives’ annual security survey (for the 2026 report cycle), hosted on LimeSurvey. They run this every year to collect user feedback on security products, OS usage, threat perception, etc., and then publish aggregated results on their site (as mentioned, planned for Q1/2026).

If you want to participate

  • Make sure you open the survey only from a link you trust (e.g. AV-Comparatives’ official site, their forum posts, or the Wilders thread you linked).
  • Check the URL/domain carefully before entering any data.
  • Read any short privacy / data handling note at the start of the survey so you know what’s collected and how it’s used.
  • Avoid putting in any personal identifying information (names, emails, account details, etc.) unless clearly and explicitly requested and you’re comfortable with it.

If you’re interested in AV testing and want your preferences reflected in their statistics and vendor charts, it can be worth filling out. Otherwise, you can just wait for the published results next year to see trends and popularity changes.
 
Just completed.
