Company products under test
Each individual program had to repel over 23.000 real malware attacks, taking into account all protection features such as URL/Web filtering, behavior-based detection and heuristics in the test against zero-day threats and common malware. In the counter-check, over 1 million benign websites and files were checked that should not be recognized (false alarm test).
