As part of its ongoing Consumer Main-Test Series, AV-Comparatives has released

the results of its July to October 2022 Real-World Protection Test for consumer

security solutions. 17 popular anti-malware programs were evaluated to assess

their protection against Internet-borne threats.

The Real-World Protection Test conducted by AV-Comparatives mimics real-world

conditions as experienced every day by users. The test accurately determined if

each threat used was able to make any changes to the test system. To ensure

that security programs do not confuse users with false alarms, AV-Comparatives

also put all the products through a false-positives test. Programs with high

levels of false alarms had their award levels reduced.

A total of 10 products reached the highest award level, ADVANCED+, in this

Real-World Protection Test. These were (in alphabetical order): Avast, AVG,

Avira, Bitdefender, G Data, K7, Kaspersky, Microsoft, McAfee, VIPRE.
