The best Windows antivirus software for business users

During July and August 2021 we continuously evaluated 19 endpoint protection products using settings as provided by the vendor. We always used the most current publicly-available version of all products for the testing. They were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.

Evaluation based on a point system

All products can achieve a maximum of 6 points each in the three categories of protection, performance and usability. This means 18 points are the best possible test result.

At 10 points or higher, a product is awarded the AV-TEST seal of approval.

At 17.5 points or higher, AV-TEST also issues the "TOP PRODUCT" award.  Additional details ›
