- WildList, Zoo, Ad-/Spyware
- On-Demand, On-Access
- Active malware, inactive malware
- URL filtering
- Web and File Reputation Services

AV-Test offers a wide range of different test scenarios. The IT security solution is analysed for the effectiveness of malware recognition and removal, its behaviour and the influence on the performance of the system.
Our test laboratories and employees have the equipment and expertise to run complex tests and test scenarios. We can test single products, technical components or do comparative analyses. There is no difference whether established or completely new security technologies, Software or Hardware will be tested. We constantly develop new test methods in order to meet the demands of the continuously changing malware threats as well as of new security technologies. You can find several of our scientific papers on these topics at "publications".
To fulfil the individual requirements of our business partners, we prepared special test packages for different client groups. These packages contain customer specialised information and results. We are certainly willing to develop individual test strategies in cooperation with the customer at any time.
Our Offers

We analyse the protection needs of the respective components and on this basis test the considered security products. We are capable to create all kinds of threatening scenarios within our test environment. We also test your security solution and indicate the weaknesses, which have to be resolved. Following the software evaluation we offer our company clients a monitoring of the used software as an additional service in order to be able to react to new threats immediately.

Based on our research and expertise we offer magazines our complete portfolio of test scenarios. Because we consider the technical orientation of your magazine your audience will gain most beneficial test results. We offer specialised tests, as well as simple product and respectively comparative tests, using all latest threatening scenarios and security technologies. This is particularly reasonable if new threats, such as Rootkits or Phishing attacks, as well as new security technologies such as the behaviour based recognition or “In-the-Cloud” queries appear.

We can accompany your Software during the complete product living cycle and give valuable references in order to avoid mistakes and to improve your products. This process starts with the software conception where we analyse the importance of certain features and give general references. This can be done in comparison to competing products. In addition, we do Beta testing of new products to precociously detect shortcomings and possible problems. At last we offer comparative tests between your products and products of other vendors in order to show a realistic picture of the capacity of the respective solutions. Furthermore, it is possible to continuously monitor the product in order to immediately detect and resolve problems that affect the protective effect or cause any other negative implication.
