The results are based on the test set of 372 live test cases (malicious URLs found in the field), consisting of working exploits (i.e. drive-by downloads) and URLs pointing directly to malware. Thus, exactly the same infection vectors are used as a typical user would experience in everyday life. The test-cases used cover a wide range of current malicious sites and provide insights into the protection given by the various products (using all their protection features) while surfing the web.
Every few months we update the charts on our website showing the protection rates of the various tested products over the various months. The interactive charts can be found on our website1. The chart below shows only the protection scores for the months of FEBRUARY and MARCH 2020 (372 test cases). The results of the false-positives test are also shown in the graph below.
