As the performance verification of anti-virus software, the agency has been doing "known virus test" for existing viruses and "unknown virus test" against unknown threats, but this time the "total defense strength test" Tested all features at once to see the overall performance of the software.

Moreover, testing is usually carried out at the time of product shipment, but plus the result of user's customized software detection also included in the result at the same time, so when we actually used it Since it is said that it can calculate a value closer to the detection rate, it seems to be a new index when selecting antivirus software.

Third-party organization "AV Comparatives.org" to verify the performance of antivirus software has beenDefinition fileTo see the performance of "Known virus test"And check the presence or absence of behavior characteristic of virus even if there is no definition fileHeuristic detectionWe investigated how far unknown virus can be detected by "Unknown virus testTwo performance tests have been done twice a year at regular intervals, but additionally, as an objective indicator of the detection rate at the time of actual use, we added the "total defensive strength test We began publishing the results on a monthly basis.

"Comprehensive Defense Test" is not a part of the function of the product but uses all functions, but basically it performs the test at the time of product shipment and performs the maximum performance It is characterized by the fact that the results customized by the user are included in the test result at the same time.
