Obviously, it is; despite that when it comes to install an antivirus software on a PC, it becomes hard to conclude. Realizing the trauma of this dilemmatic situation, a few independent software testing firms have started publishing their test reports, which are based on the individual performance of different antivirus products. AV-TEST Institute is a renowned agency that evaluates the effectiveness of a security software by means of ‘real-world’ test, where each security software is subjected to a malware sample holding both known and unknown threats. This test is a good indicator of how capable a security suite or antivirus package will be on the practical ground. Repair and usability are other two significant parameters that are crucial in assessing these products. Here ‘repair’ means the ability of the antivirus to overcome damaged or corrupted files, and ‘usability’ portrays the influence of the security products on the computer resources, false-positive findings during a system scan and the display of false warnings.
