Internet Security

Here are the latest test results from AV-Comparatives.

The big surprise comes from VIPRE which scored 100%.
While Microsoft also scored 100%, the 23 false positives spoil the glory.

Those interested in the Business Test, here are the results.

I'll stay within the Consumer category, I can afford free

I prefer the Factsheet for a reasonable overview (shows tested software version specifics and a little more detail):

There's also a detailed false positives/alarm test results page:

and Malware Protection test results page:
https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/malware-protection-test-september-2018/
though these two aren't as easy to digest.

While these test are not the alpha and omega of Internet Security, it gives home users, as well as small business owners, an idea of what's the best... and the rest.

No offense meant to those who have had their PCs infected, but no Internet Security software or hardware can protect against gullibility and stupidity.
Think before clicking on an email link. Or connecting someones smart phone, MP3 player, flash drive, memory card, etc.
Executable malware can be on any device with formatted storage.
