The anti-malware evaluation company AV-TEST released the latest report earlier this month, using three indicators of protection, performance and usability to measure the anti-malware comprehensive ability.
According to the test results, Microsoft Defender got a perfect score of 6 in terms of protection ability and usability, but only got 5 points in terms of performance, which is insufficient compared with Avast, Avira and other anti-software.
The performance evaluation content is as follows:
Including Avast, Avira, Bitdefender, G DATA, K7 Computing, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, PC Matic, Protected.net and Trend Micro, all scored 6 points.
In our tests, software packages from AhnLab, AVG, ESET, F-Secure, McAfee, Microworld, and Norton produced a slight but measurable system load. The overall performance is good, 0.5 points are deducted, and the score of the above products is 5.5 points.
The report pointed out that the system load of Microsoft Defender is higher than that of other competing products, so 1 point was deducted, and the final score was 5 points.
