The others offer trial versions that stop working after a period of time until you pay for them. They are AVG Free Antivirus, Avira Free Antivirus, and Fortinet FortiClient. Only three of these vendors offer always-free antivirus-only packages, like Bitdefender. “Top Rated” runners-up include AVG, Avira, ESET, Emsisoft, F-Secure, and Fortinet. Makes perfect sense, right? Personally, I go with the one that has the coolest logo. But AV-Comparatives decided the tie in favor of Bitdefender, because Kaspersky won their Product of the Year award last year. Both Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 and Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 scored an Advanced+ award in all tests. This year, there was a tie for Product of the Year. Unless you’re very, very good, you’re not going to enter the game. This should come as no surprise because participation in the AV-Comparatives tests is entirely voluntary, just like the Olympics. It should be noted that there is less than one percent’s difference between the scores of all the Top Rated programs and the Product of the Year. Gold, silver, and bronze “medals” are also awarded in each of the six test categories. A Product of the Year is then named, and several “Top Rated” products receive recognition as well. Different weights are assigned to the tests’ results and a total score is calculated. Two of them are repeated in the spring and fall, for a total of eight test sessions.

The full report for 2015 runs over 150 pages this year but I have the highlights for you right here:ĪV-Comparatives subjects antimalware programs to six tests. But the AV-Comparatives report is definitely real. Okay, I made up the part about the geeks in white lab coats.
