The third new product in this test was Panzor CloudAntivirus, another new company that presents itself as using 'Artificial Intelligence Cloud technology'. The same was the case for TotalAV, a relatively new UK‑based product whose developers are working hard to make a name for themselves in the crowded market for home-user endpoint security. After a brief standalone test last year, we are pleased to report that the product easily achieved a VB100 award in its first participation in the test. Three products are new to the VB100 test bench.įireEye is hardly a new name, thanks both to its advanced detection products and its strong research division. Though false positives are an inevitable side-effect of any security solution, we believe they shouldn't occur for very widely used legitimate software.

The files included on the WildList are well vetted and have been confirmed to have been seen in the wild more than once, thus detection can (and should) be expected.įive other products erroneously blocked one or more of the hundreds of thousands of files belonging to legitimate software in our 'clean set'. 27 of the products achieved VB100 certification.įor three products, it was a missed file from the WildList that stood in the way of achieving a VB100 award. In this last 'old-style' test, we put 35 anti-virus products from 32 vendors through their paces. To emphasize this part, we will soon morph the VB100 test into a certification test, with this report being the last to be presented as a comparative review. Their goal has always been to show which products satisfy a minimum standard and, by testing every two months, showing which products perform well over a longer period of time. Secondly, picking out which is 'the best' has never been what the VB100 tests are about. Not to mention that different threat models require different responses.
What works best for a home user may not be ideal for a small business, and what will work best for a small business may be less suitable for a large international organization. And, perhaps surprisingly, we don't feel it is a question we can answer.įirstly, because what is the 'best' anti-virus (or endpoint security) product depends on the specific requirements of the user or organization. Naturally, as a company that has engaged in anti-virus testing for over two decades, this is a question we are often asked. 'So, what is the best anti-virus product?'
