AV-Comparatives has published the results of its 2026 Anti-Phishing Certification Test, evaluating the effectiveness of security products in protecting users from phishing attacks.
 
Phishing Protection Put to the Test – 2026 EditionPhishing continues to be a major cyber threat, with attackers using fake websites and deceptive messages to steal sensitive data like usernames, passwords, or credit card details. To combat this, most antivirus and internet security solutions include built-in anti-phishing features designed to block access to malicious sites.

AV-Comparatives, a trusted independent testing lab based in Austria, has released its 2026 Anti-Phishing Certification Report, assessing the ability of leading security products to detect and block phishing websites.

In this year’s test, the security products were challenged with 275 phishing URLs. To earn certification, a product had to block at least 85% of phishing sites. A false-positive test was also conducted to ensure that legitimate websites—especially sensitive ones like online banking—were not mistakenly blocked.

Listed alphabetically, the certified products on Windows are:

• Avast One Free
  
• Bitdefender Total Security
  
• ESET Home Security Essential
  
• F-Secure Internet Security
  
• Fortinet FortiClient
  
• Kaspersky Premium
  
• NordVPN Next-gen antivirus
  
• Norton 360 Deluxe
  

The report not only presents the detection rates and certification outcomes, but it outlines that anti-phishing protection is an essential part of modern cybersecurity.
