Windows Defender wins AV-Test TOP recommendation

AV-Test TOP
Add Daily CyberSecurity as a preferred source on Google

The German soft test organization AV-Test released the latest evaluation results of security software in June, and 11 of the 18 models received TOP recommendations, including the completely free Windows Defender. Avira Pro 15.0, Kaspersky 18.0/19.0, McAfee 21.1/21.2 were awarded in three aspects of performance, protection, and ease of use. And Windows Defender is only slightly inferior in performance, with 17.5 points and Ahnlab, avast, AVG, Bitdefender, Norton and other veteran killing soft tied for second.

Windows Defender AV has once again achieved 100% Protection scores across the board (Real world and Prevalent malware test modules) in both the Business User and Home User tests by AV-TEST in May-June 2018. https://t.co/qeiIpXPYxN pic.twitter.com/WF0Ij2wsym

— Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) July 30, 2018

It is reported that the test is based on 225 zero-day vulnerabilities discovered within 24 hours before the test and 5,600 malicious samples collected in the four weeks before the test. The total detection rate of the former is 99.6%, and the latter is 100%.
