Microsoft tops AV-Comparatives' testing


AV-Comparatives.org published the May edition of its proactive/retrospective testing to measure 16 anti-virus vendors’ capability in detecting new threats. Microsoft anti-virus received one of only 3 Advanced+ ratings. Our detection rate was 60%, the second best among the participants, and we had the fewest false positive samples.

This result is consistent with some recent proactive tests conducted by other industry test organizations. In the VB100 April edition, VB introduced a new metric, Reactive and Proactive (RAP), in their test criteria. Vendors scored from 8.0% to 94.7%. Both Forefront Client Security and OneCare score at 80% in the RAP test cases. In addition, in the WildList response time testing by AV-test.org in 2008, Microsoft was in the clear leading position on proactive detection.

    There are various professional companies and organizations who are only into the lab testing of antivirus programs and they work primarily for IT companies by testing the programs provided to them. So before an organization decides to implement particular antivirus software widely in the organization, they contact the lab and ask them to perform a test on the program. The lab will perform professional test cases with malware and adware programs on the antivirus and give the result to the organization.

    Some antivirus programs have a drawback in a way that they lower the system performance. When buying an antivirus product, look for the price, the performance, and its ranking. It is good if you do a little bit of research before opting for one.
