These show that in a real-world digital environment with ever-increasing malicious programs, keeping computers secure may prove to be a challenge not everybody is up to.We nearly tripled the test cases in the Real-World Protection Test to show more accurate results.A total of 24 antivirus products (using all their protection features) were included in the Real-World Protection Test of March.Tests of some additional products have been commissioned by IT publications, and although they are not included in this report, for some of them (G DATA, Symantec, ...) the results will not be inlcuded the reports, for some of them the results will be given along our half year report on the 15th of July 2014.None of the products were able to reach a 100% protection rate against widespread malicious samples used in this test. It is important to mention that the latter reflect only the March landscape of the cyberspace and, as the Internet environment changes dynamically from month to month, products might perform differently in the next months.Statistical AccuracyMore than 125,000 test cases in the File Detection Test and around 1260 test cases in the Real World Test for statistical accuracy! Please have a look at the PDF why it is so important to use a large testset.Currently, AV-Comparatives' Whole-Product Dynamic Real-World Protection Test is the most comprehensive and complex test available when it comes to evaluating the real-life protection capabilities of antivirus software. Simply put, the test framework replicates the scenario of an everyday user in an everyday online environment – the typical situation that most of us experience when using a computer with an Internet connection.It creates a realistic setting where the antivirus products must show their ability to thoroughly protect the user’s computer when surfing the web.This year's Real-World Protection Tests are being run on Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1. Additionally, but not competing, the out-of-box protection of Microsoft Security Essentials (included with Windows 7) and Windows Defender (Windows 8) is evaluated. As well as the test workstations for the competing third-party security programs, two additonal, fully updated workstations are run: one with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 with Microsoft Security Essentials installed, and another with Windows 8 64-bit running the integrated Windows Defender. In the current test (March), both the out-of-box solutions achieved a 88.4% protection score. File-Detection TestWe also released the file detection test of March 2014 - please find the results here: http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/detection-test Tests of some additional products have been commissioned by IT publications, and although they are not included in this report, for some of them (G DATA, Symantec, ...). results can be requested using the following link or can be read in the printed magazines.https://itsecurity.zendesk.com/account/dropboxes/20300746#/dropbox/tickets/new Firewall ReviewFor the first time we did a very basic Firewall review, which was orderd by Chip.
