The results are a bit encouraging when it comes to the detection of a representative set of malware discovered in the last 2 or 3 months, with the Microsoft product scoring 90 percent in both months. The industry average is 89 percent, so Security Essentials wasn’t even close to the other products on the market. Microsoft’s anti-virus application has achieved a detection rate of 69 percent in September and 64 percent in October for protection against 0-day malware attacks, including web and email threats. Microsoft’s Security Essentials is the only free anti-virus software that failed to receive certification after a new round of anti-virus tests conducted by AV-Test on Windows 7 during September and October.Īccording to results provided by AV-Test on its official website, all the other anti-virus programs on the market have received the certification, including free solutions such as Avast! and AVG.
