The AV-Test November/December Windows 10 Home User test results are in! Here's how they test:

"During November and December 2020 we continuously evaluated 21 home user security products using their default settings. 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."

The categories:
  • Protection: "Protection against malware infections (such as viruses, worms or Trojan horses)"
  • Performance: "Average influence of the product on computer speed in daily usage"
  • Usability: "Impact of the security software on the usability of the whole computer"

These products were certified as the top Antiviruses for Windows 10 home-user machines in the November/December 2020 tests.

Top Products that rated 6/6 (top score is 6) in all categories presented in alphabetical order:
  • Avira Antivirus Pro 1.0
  • Bullguard Internet Security 21.10
  • Eset Internet Security 14.0

  • Microsoft Defender 4.18
  • Norton 360 22.20
  • Trend Micro Internet Security 17.0

  • AVG Internet Security 20.8 7 20.9
