[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 734796, member: 32260"] I do not understand one thing. That test is titled: Home Antimalware Protection. When you look inside, you can see that substantial part of the test is related to targetted attacks???? So, I downloaded the documents from SE Labs website related to their testing methodology: Endpoint Protection Methodology 1.0 [URL]https://selabs.uk/download/endpoint-protection-methodology-1-0.pdf[/URL] Targeted Attack Replay Guide [URL]https://selabs.uk/download/targeted-attack-replay-guide.pdf[/URL] . After reading the above documents, one will know some important pieces of information about SE Lab tests: [LIST=1] [*]They are performed on [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Windows 7 [/B][/COLOR](Service Pack 1). [*]The system has vulnerable third-party applications as specified by SE Labs on a case-by-case basis (e.g. Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment 7, no updates). [*]For the targetted the attacks the [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Metasploit[/B][/COLOR] is used and probably MS Office documents. [/LIST] Some of the above can be just a mistake related to not updating information in the methodology documents, because testing Windows Defender on Windows 7 seems funny to me. [B]Anyway, this test is rather strange, because the targetted attacks against home computers are very rare.[/B] [/QUOTE]
