The Real-World Protection AV-Test is a long-term test run over a period of four months, testing how well the endpoint protection software can protect the system against Internet-borne threats. The Malware Protection Test requires the tested products to detect malicious programs that could be encountered on the company systems, e.g., on the local area network or external drives. The Performance Test checks that tested products do not provide protection at the expense of slowing down the system. A False Alarm Test is also run for each of the protection tests to ensure that the endpoint protection software does not cause significant numbers of false alarms (false positives).
