![]() ![]() In our antivirus reviews, we always consult regularly published reports from four independent antivirus testing labs around the world: AV-Test Institute, AV-Comparatives, MRG-Effitas, and SE Labs. At some point we’ll switch those testbeds to Windows 11, but has that time arrived? Once a year we go on a hunting expedition for new samples and use them to rebuild the virtual machine testbeds that we use for ongoing evaluations. We need to use the same malware samples over time to get an apples-to-apples comparison between different products, but we don’t want to test a product twice with the same samples, lest it get an unfair advantage. We don’t just take the publisher’s word that a product works-we put it up against real-world challenges, including actual malware samples captured in the wild.
