What do the three-star ratings for “malware/antivirus” and “system performance” mean?
These are derived from tests by AV-Comparatives, an independent antivirus testing company. Test participation is voluntary, and based only on each company’s simple antivirus product. The full Internet security suites we review usually contain additional security features and safeguards. The malware/antivirus score shows a simple average of scores from six tests, with three stars being the best. System performance is based on a single test. We suggest readers view the individual testing tables in each review to see the score distribution.
