AV-Comparatives Real-World Protection Test July-August 2020

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Our Real-World Protection Test is currently one of the most comprehensive and complex tests available, using a relatively large number of test cases. Currently, we are running this test under Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit with up-to-date third-party software (such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Java, etc.). Due to this, finding in-the-field working exploits and running malware is much more challenging than e.g. under a non-up-to-date system with unpatched/vulnerable third-party applications.

This fact sheet is a short overview of the Real-World Protection Test results of July and August 2020. The detailed overall result consumer product reports (covering four months each) are released in June and December. Each of the overall result reports will also contain a false-alarm test and will contain the awards the products reached based on their overall scores during the respective four-month period.

Avast, AVG, Vipre, Bitdefender, Kaspersky and Norton all have the same percentage, totally not fishy at all

And they are still testing the scam that is TotalAV? how much money did they pay AV comparatives this time...

 

[SpiderWeb]

The AV names are shifted to the right and it's incredibly annoying to figure out which one is which. You had one job, AV Comparatives... Like someone has already said. If you want to see how much you can trust the testing look at how high they rate the worst AV.

 

[Andy Ful]

The cumulative ranking in this year:
0/1134 TrendMicro, F-Secure
1/1134 Panda
2/1134 Kaspersky
3/1134 Avast, AVG
5/1134 Avira, Microsoft, Norton*
6/1134 Bitdefender, Eset
7/1134 GData
15/1134 McAfee

There were two tests. The first with 754 samples (February-May) and the second with 380 samples (July-August), so the total number of samples was 1134.

*Norton had 4 user-dependent detections, so depending on criteria it could get a higher scoring.
Bearing in mind the statistical errors, it seems that TrendMicro and F-Secure have scored best and McAfee scored worse. The rest of the AVs are hard to classify.

Those 2 with much more fps than the others

 

[fabiobr]

Kaspersky and Bitdefender top notch.

Norton too, only down is being interactive (maybe because of Norton Insight and insufficient information on cloud), but it depends on what kind of user you are.

Can someone explain Panda performance?

 

[Freud2004]

Panda score 100% ? I never like Panda, and I have bad experiences with their buggy software and false positives.
I doubt about Panda being one of the best AV, but I can be mistaken...
F-secure use Avira engine and have better results? With the same engine, different performance? Something wear don't seem right...

F secure has deepguard, thus a higher detection rate.

 

[Bryan320]

trend micro did very well!

 

[FireHammer]

Bitdefender false positives 0% & 99.7 protection rate, I am a little impressed.
And Microsoft, there is almost no reason to go the third party.

 

[Andy Ful]

Those 2 with much more fps than the others

Yes. If we include the number of false positives, then Kaspersky can be the best in this competition.

 

[amico81]

Old samples in the tests or what is the reason that Panda rocks @Av-C?

 

[Bryan320]

Old samples in the tests or what is the reason that Panda rocks @Av-C?

Yeah i agree panda has always sucked and been very sloppy.

 

[Andy Ful]

Old samples in the tests or what is the reason that Panda rocks @Av-C?

Not old samples for sure, because most AVs scored worse in cumulative results for this year.
