AVG blocked over 90% of them immediately on launch, wiping them out so fast it left Windows displaying an error message stating that the file could not be found. To test AVG's malware-blocking abilities, I opened a folder containing my current collection of malware samples and tried to execute each one. Rather, it gives those files a final scan before they execute. Like Avast, Emsisoft Anti-Malware, McAfee, and a few others, its real-time protection doesnвЂ™t scan such files on simple access. If a file is already present on your computer, AVG assumes it must have gotten past the earlier protection layers. I'll discuss those malware protection layers shortly.

For example, AVG could block all access to the malware-hosting URL, or it could wipe out the malware payload before the download finishes. Very Good Malware ProtectionДЄny kind of internet-based malware must get past numerous defenses before it can infect your PC. The big winner is Kaspersky, with results from all four labs and a score of 9.9 points. With four tests, Avast has even better coverage, but since it failed the additional test, its aggregate score is lower, 9.6 points. Its aggregate lab score of 9.9 points out of 10 canвЂ™t fail to impress. Tested by three labs, AVG is almost among the elite. Alas, despite past successes Avast failed this latest test.ДЄ third of the current products I track donвЂ™t appear in results from any of the labs, and another quarter only have one lab test result. Avast appears in the latest report for one, while the other includes neither Avast nor AVG. Products that don't manage perfect or near-perfect protection simply fail. MRG-Effitas reports its test results a bit differently from the other labs. Among them are Avira, Microsoft Windows Defender Security Center, and Norton. Quite a few other products managed AAA certification in the latest test from SE Labs. Like Avast, AVG received AAA certification. The best products receive AAA certification others may be certified at the AA, A, B, or C level. Trying to come as close as possible to real-world conditions, the experts at SE Labs capture drive-by downloads and other web-based attacks, using a replay system to hit each tested product with the exact same attack. Note, though, that, in the latest test, 10 products managed a perfect 18-point score.

Kaspersky Security Cloud Free also took 17.5 points. Avast precisely matched those scores.ДЄ total of 17.5 points is high enough for AV-Test to award both AVG and Avast the designation Top Product. It came close in performance, with 5.5 points. AVG took six points for usability, meaning it didn't erroneously flag valid programs or websites as malicious, and six more points for malware protection.

With six points possible in each category, the maximum score is 18 points. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, ESET, G Data, and Kaspersky also took Advanced+ in all three tests.ДЄV-Test Institute reports on antivirus capabilities in three areas: protection, performance, and usability. Products that achieve the necessary minimum scores receive a Standard rating, while those that show advanced features and capabilities can rate Advanced or Advanced+.ДЄVG and Avast both received Advanced+ ratings in all three tests. The analysts at AV-Comparatives perform a variety of security tests, of which we follow four. Three of them include AVG in their latest reports, and all four include its cousin Avast. We follow four independent testing labs that regularly release reports on their results. With a free antivirus that doesn't bring in any income, a company might be tempted to avoid the expense of testing. The company does benefit a high score gives it bragging rights, while if the score is poor, the lab helps the company work through what went wrong. You might not realize this, but in most cases antivirus companies pay for the privilege of having products tested by the independent labs.
