[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 948244, member: 32260"] There is no need to dispute the Defender protection (and other AVs too). According to the Consumer tests, the group of top AVs includes Norton, F-Secure, Kaspersky, and Trend-Micro (other paid AVs did not participate in all tests), but we should probably add Bitdefender to this group. Norton uses very aggressive default settings (many false positives) based on the reputation in the cloud so it has got consistently best scorings. Close after the top AVs are free AVs (Avast, Avira, Microsoft Defender) and several good paid AVs (including McAfee). The cumulative scorings in AV-Test, AV-Comparatives, and SE Labs from the year 2019 until now (two and half year period): [B]Real-World 2019-2021: AV-Test, AV-Comparatives, SE Labs[/B] -------------------Missed samples [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Norton 360....................[SIZE=5]8[/SIZE] + 0 + 3 + 0 = [SIZE=5]11[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B]Trend Micro IS............[SIZE=5]13[/SIZE] + 6 + 0 + 1 = [SIZE=5]20[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]F-Secure.....................[SIZE=5]19[/SIZE] + 1+*1 + 1 = [SIZE=5]22[/SIZE] [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Kaspersky IS..............[/COLOR][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]19 [/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]+ 0 + 4 + 1 = [/COLOR][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]24[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]Avast..........................[SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] + 0 + 0 + 0 = [SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] Microsoft....................[SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] + 0+*9 + 0 = [SIZE=5]46[/SIZE] Avira (Free, Pro)..........[SIZE=5]46[/SIZE] + 2 + 8 + 3 = [SIZE=5]59[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] McAfee (IS,TP)............[SIZE=5]76 [/SIZE]+ 1 + 3 + 0 = [SIZE=5]80[/SIZE] [B]Malware Protection 2019-2021: AV-Test, AV-Comparatives[/B] -------------------Missed samples [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Norton 360...............[/COLOR][/B][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]4[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] + 0 + 0.....= [SIZE=5]4[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]F-Secure Safe........[SIZE=5]26[/SIZE] + 0 +*6....= [SIZE=5]32[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]McAfee (IS,TP)......[SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] + 0 + 0.....= [SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] Kaspersky IS..........[SIZE=5]28[/SIZE] + 8 + 4.....= [SIZE=5]40[/SIZE] Microsoft...............[SIZE=5]25[/SIZE] + 0 +15....= [SIZE=5]40[/SIZE] Avira (Free, Pro).....[SIZE=5]37[/SIZE] + 5 + 2.....= [SIZE=5]44[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]Avast Free..............[SIZE=5]59 [/SIZE]+ 0 + 1.... = [SIZE=5]60[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B] TrendMicro IS........[SIZE=5]257[/SIZE]+ 0 + 103 = [SIZE=5]360[/SIZE] [B]The AVs with the same color should not be differentiated (due to statistical errors).[/B] The first column (large font) includes the cumulative results from 2019-2020.
