AV-TEST Product Review and Certification

Report – Nov-Dec/2019
During November and December 2019 we continuously evaluated 18 home user security products using their
default settings. We always used the most current publicly-available version of all products for the testing.
They were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on
realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate
their capabilities using all components and protection layers.
