  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.

Hello All!

This is our first huge comparative test in 2020, but not the last. We carried out three tests of security in March and April 2020 from which we publish a list of popular antiviruses to secure workstations, and home computers. The test includes 12 specialized solutions for individual users and 9 products for medium and large business.

This time we do not have an official summary report. Each of tested product contain individual PDF, therefore you can download all (one click button). You can use our materials freely for non-commercial usage.

Short information for our Readers:
It is necessary to create a dedicated website for English-speaking users and we will soon! You will be able to easily find all our comparisons in English and reviews - not just security tests.

Also we will soon publish a comparison of several solutions for encryption files. Solutions created by Polish engineers.
 
There is a typo in the Trend Micro test. It says Sophos home premium and not Trend Micro Maximum Security

Wait is Symantec not included in the test?

So far looking at the testing I see no clear indication of cheating
better then most test labs in that regard.
Only recommendation is that I want more attack vectors in future testing.
Oh and wanted to thank you for sharing the hash of the test files I rarely see av testing labs do so .

Has anyone tried mks_vir?, can't find more info about it due to the language barrier.

I was using it earlier this year. I'm not Polish and the language barrier was also my issue but I asked on the Arcabit Facebook page if their version had an English install. It does and they gave me a free key for Arcabit after checking my mks_vir key still had nearly 3 years on it. Arcabit seems to be a branch off from mks_vir from a few years ago. Apparently even shared staff. They may be in the process of relaunching the brand outside Eastern Europe as both mks_vir and Arcabit are updating again. I've had no issue with Arcabit Internet Security under win 10. It looks like it uses Bit Defender's sigs. I'm not sure if its the full Bit Defender scan engine too.

Interesting.
 
Thanks for feedback.

@Adrian Ścibor any reason to not test Avast/AVG?

Not really. We didn't get along before test was started. It's no secret that we have to earn money. There is no manipulation here. Transparent win-win action. We test products in exchange for reporting bugs and how to patches.

As above. Sometimes it's difficult to contact them. This is a corporation. Contact with the corporation is always not easy.

It's a little better version of Arcabit designed to Polish market. You can download trial version and test it on virtual machine: Pobierz | mks_vir (I do not know if English lang is available)

Yeah Symantec is hard to contact lately.
Anyway thanks. So much for the testing.
 
The test for WD free (no ATP) can probably show, that when using MS Office with enabled macros, the malicious macro can drop (download) and execute a payload bypassing BAFS and SmartScreen. It is good to block macros, block the outbound connections of some LOLBins (script Interpreters, etc.), or use advanced WD settings (ASR rules, Network Protection).(y)
