drive-by downloads) and URLs pointing directly to malware. The results are based on the test set of 312 live test cases (malicious URLs found in the field), consisting of working exploits (i.e. Users should be aware that by always keeping their system and third-party applications up-to-date/patched, they can dramatically decrease the risk posed by exploits. This means that the vulnerabilities in the third-party applications on the system were already patched and the exploits could therefore not deliver their malicious payload. Many malicious URLs carrying exploits were not able to compromise the chosen system/applications because of the patch level. We remove duplicates such as the same malware hosted on different domains or IP addresses, sites already tested, “grey” or non-malicious sites/files, and malware/sites disappearing during the test. Unfortunately, many of these have to be discarded for various reasons. Over the year we evaluate several tens of thousands malicious URLs. The following products (latest version available at time of testing) were tested: Each of the overall result reports will also contain a false-alarm test and will contain the awards the products reached based on their overall scores during the respective four-month period.įor more information about this Real-World Protection Test, please read the details and previous test reports available on Tested Products The detailed overall result consumer product reports (covering four months each) are released in June and November. This fact sheet is a short overview of the Real-World Protection Test results of July and August 2022. under a non-up-to-date system with unpatched/vulnerable third-party applications. Due to this, finding in-the-field working exploits and running malware is much more challenging than e.g.
Currently, we are running this test under updated Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit with up-to-date third-party software. Our Real-World Protection Test is currently one of the most comprehensive and complex tests available, using a relatively large number of test cases.
