Three antivirus programs for Windows 8 cut in the latest test of AV-Test from the best, really bad is just software. Surprise: One of the winner is free .
The Independent Institute AV-Test regularly reviews the latest anti-virus software. After protection software for the still widespread Windows 7 was tested in November and December, were in the first two months of 2015, this time 27 antivirus monitor for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1’s turn. They had in the “protection”, “system load” and show “usability” of what they can
The first place was shared by three antivirus programs that reached the highest possible rating with 18 points. Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 for 39.95 euros, with 59.95 euros much more expensive Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 and the free software Qihoo 360 anti-virus, which is now 360 Total Security is called. Qihoo this country is relatively unknown, but in his native China almost half a billion active users. As Chinese companies that offer the free software, Qihoo is indeed considered suspicious in Europe and the United States. But so far, no real “back door” found in its anti-virus software and Microsoft co-operates with the company, including in his much discussed Windows 10 upgrade program for unlicensed copies of Windows.
More aboutIn the” protective effect “also achieved Avast Free Antivirus 2015 Avira Antivirus Pro 2015 Norton Security 2015 Trend Micro Internet Security 2015 and F-Secure Internet Security 2015 respectively, the full six points. The programs, however, the system slowed down a little too much and / or contributed to many false alarms.
Basically certified AV-Test almost all the products tested a “good to acceptable” level. Is on average 96 to 98 percent of the “zero-day attacks” have been averted in which hackers try to exploit vulnerabilities for which there is no fix (patch). A zero-point disaster conceded in the protective effect of Microsoft’s Windows built-in free solution Defender, which could only parry 75 percent of all malware attacks.
