McAfee Tanks Independent AV Test. The well-known independent antivirus testing labs AV-Test and AV-Comparatives typically include 20 to 25 security products in each test.

McAfee Tanks Independent AV Test

The dedicated researchers at Dennis Technology Labs puts a much smaller group of products to the test, usually eight or nine, but they perform intensive testing that comes extremely close to real-world user experience. In the latest quarterly report five products did very well, three earned a decent grade, and McAfee just bombed. Testing Protection Half of the test relates to how well each product protected a test system against infestation by 100 real-world malware attacks.

For a simple, static, signature-based test that would be a laughably small number. However, the real-world tests run by Dennis Labs are anything but simple. A product that completely defended against an attack would earn three points. Kaspersky Internet Security (2014) earned a perfect 300; Norton and ESET weren't far behind with 282 and 274 points.

Review: Bitdefender Internet Security 2013: Excellent protection, user-friendly interface. Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 ($70 for one year and three PCs, as of 12/19/12) may just be everything that you’d want in a security suite.

Review: Bitdefender Internet Security 2013: Excellent protection, user-friendly interface

This program, which earned the highest rating in both our real-world attack test and our system cleanup test, has a user-friendly interface that will appeal to both regular and advanced users. It also comes with several extra services, such as antitheft protection for various mobile devices. In our real-world attack test (which indicates how well a suite will be able to block new malware attacks as it encounters them), Bitdefender completely blocked 100 percent of attacks. (Four other tested security suites also put up perfect scores in this test: F-Secure, G Data, Norton, and Trend Micro.) Bitdefender was also able to detect 98.8 percent of known malware samples in our malware-zoo detection test. The program adds just a little extra weight to your system—in other words, its slowdowns are tolerable. Products. Network Security – Next Generation Firewalls by Palo Alto Networks.
