Symantec Norton Security and Trend Micro Internet security are following Kaspersky by scoring 17.8 points. Both of the security solutions received 6 points for protection and performance, but only 5.8 points for usability. If we talk about free antivirus solutions, Avast free antivirus managed to score a total of 16.5 points: 6 points for protection, 4.7 points for performance and 5.7 points for usability. It looks like Windows defender was way behind Avast, Windows Defender scored just 15.5 points: 5.2 points for protection, 4.8 points for performance and 5.5 points for usability. Comodo Internet security premium was the lowest scorer in the list, it had received just 13.6 points. Av-Test concluded by saying “The internal protection solution from Windows, Defender, at 15.5 points finishes among the last products at the bottom of the table. Thus, the product’s only claim to fame is that after all, it is better than the package from Comodo,” So, what do you think about this? Share your views in the comments below.
