The experts have just tested 23 programs. A free program protects the computer very well. And also the Windows Defender has caught up.
double-tip for Bitdefender
The best protection performance, but has a buying program: Bitdefender Internet Security was unable to score in the Test with 40,000 malicious programs, malicious websites and Phishing Mails, the protection performance is the best touch: A smooth 1,0 test gave the program at this point. The free Software of the manufacturer, Bitdefender Free Antivirus, but comes damn close. Also it does not protect a “very good”, when Recognizing Phishing but not quite as Mature.

Windows Defender: The winner
As a Surprise, the good performance of the pre-installed Windows sees test Defenders. In the case of the detection of pests, he has now been with a lot of programs, some established programs, such as Avira even. Only the lack of Phishing protection prevents a better evaluation of the protection performance. The explanation: Microsoft built the feature in his Browser Edge. You use a Browser with Phishing protection, but a risk. Warentest advises, therefore, to rely on Chrome or an Edge, if you installed any additional anti-virus software. In view of the strong showing of the free BitDefender, one should consider the but anyway.
