When challenged with a collection of exploit attacks generated by the CORE Impact penetration tool, it detected and blocked about 40 percent by denying access to the exploit page and another 4 percent when real-time antivirus protection wiped out the exploit payload. The Network Threat Protection component supplements existing web protection by watching for signs of attempts to exploit system and application vulnerabilities. Any of these three should provide excellent protection against fraudulent websites. However, in their own recent tests Kaspersky and McAfee managed 100 percent detection. Phishing websites, fraudulent sites that steal your login credentials, can do as much harm as malware, and Bitdefender earned a marvelous score in my hands-on antiphishing test, with 99 percent detection.

Top marks in this test go to F-Secure and Trend Micro Internet Security (39.95 3 PCs / 1 Year at Trend Micro Small Business), both of which reached 99 percent. However, when my results don't jibe with lab reports, I give the labs more weight.īitdefender did better at preventing downloads from malware-hosting URLs, with 92 percent protection. In my malware protection test, Bitdefender and Kaspersky both didn't fare nearly as well. With 9.9 points, Kaspersky is very close behind, and Kaspersky appears in the latest reports from all four labs. Normalizing and averaging the scores to a 10-point scale, Bitdefender gets a perfect 10 points. Three of the four independent testing labs that I follow include Bitdefender in their regular reports, and all three give it excellent marks.

You really should go read my review of that product.
