Avast free protection and performance rate are better than eset smart 9 according to the test review. They gained the same score in ,,usability,,. Maybe, it is time to replace eset smart with avast free Eset fanboys, don't get these results close to your hearts. This test review means nothing

Why are they testing old Qihoo v5.0 instead of current v8.0

Why are they testing old Qihoo v5.0 instead of current v8.0

When I first saw QTS360 on the tests again, I wondered that too. 5.0 is the (original) chinese version (it even looks different, first screenshot is taken from the AV Test page, second one is the current stable of the international one, German language here).
Diggin' out an old thread, sorry: (Qihoo 360) Any difference in detection rate between English and Chinese version?

Why are they testing old Qihoo v5.0 instead of current v8.0

Because they said that Qihoo cheated and after they added the International version in the tests again (they lied about Qihoo) people started to message them about the double standards, so they added the CH version

 

[Stas]

So current Chinese version is v5.0, I though they were testing old Qihoo IS v5.0

You said it all, regardless of the product, testing can not make the head of a user. At least I think so.

Bitdefender and Avira as the two products does not want to give up for some reason.

AV-Test is likely their primary number one tool to have legitimate advertising of their products.

Bad detection scores for Emsisoft

Windows Defender - Very good results for widespread & prevalent malware.

And IMO 0-day protection by Windows Defender is good too.
Coz 3rd party AV results are with their Web Protection module.

Browser & Desktop Smart Screen on Win 10 is kinda Windows Defender Web Protection.
It would be good to know how much Smart Screen protected.
I think they should also mention Smart Screen results for Windows Defender.

Smart Screen is not a part of Windows Defender, it is working with 3rd party AV's too.

I am totally confused.. What does the performance stand for whenever I use an anti-virus besides Avast my CPU and Disk crash to 100% is that bad? Kaspersky and Bitdefender I am most interested in using at some point. Although for being free Avast is great!

Windows Defender & Smart Screen, etc are OS protection So WD is Realtime AV & Smart Screen is Web Module, etc.

Windows Defender & Smart Screen, etc are OS protection So WD is Realtime AV & Smart Screen is Web Module, etc.

And Windows Firewall.

Smart Screen is part of Internet Explorer

Smart Screen is part of Internet Explorer

On Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 there is a protection called Smartscreen where running an unkown program from ANYWHERE on the computer it will need approval for admin.

Yes but we were talking about Smart Screen Web Module.

 

[DJ Panda]

Yes but we were talking about Smart Screen Web Module.

He was also including Windows' other integrated forms of protection.

If you turn off Windows Defender and use 3rd party AV you'll also have Smart Screen so how can they also mention Smart Screen results for Windows Defender.
