Avira Antivirus Pro v15 performed admirably, as did Norton Security 2019 (v22).

If you want to go through the results yourself, in detail, read the AV-Test October 2018 report.Īs to how other suites did in the tests, Kaspersky Internet Security 2019 (v19) was up at the top, as is Bitdefender Internet Security 2019 (v23). It also came below the likes of Avast Free, which you could install alongside Windows Defender. Worryingly, Malwarebytes performed less effectively than Windows Defender, which is built-in to Windows 10 and turned on by default. Malwarebytes has just been found to offer the worst protection against the latest security threats, compared to a range of other security suites from regular brands such as Norton, Kaspersky, AVG, Bidefender, Avast and somewhat lesser known solutions such as eScan, G-Data and Ahnlab. Indeed, we’re not talking about Malwarebytes Free either, this is the paid Premium edition. From our experience, and regular comments we read on our own posts, Malwarebytes is an American-developed security tool which can do almost no wrong, yet its performance in the October 2018 results are borderline shocking. The latest October 2018 report displays some interesting results.
