The certification sets were dealt with well, earning Avira a VB100 award. Last 12 tests: 9 passed, 0 failed, 3 no entryĪvira's paid‑for edition missed out on our first visit to Windows 10, but demonstrated this time that it is quite at home on the platform, showing impeccable stability and its usual strong detection levels. Last 6 tests: 4 passed, 0 failed, 2 no entry With our standard tools in place and the test sets and products ready to go, we got down to the business of putting the products through their paces. The latest WildList available on this date was used to build the other main certification set, and the sets used for our detection tests were built on the fly, using samples from the last ten days prior to each phase of the test.

Our other pre-test duties mainly concern the sample sets, which were approached in the normal manner, with the clean sets continuing to be updated until the test deadline of 22 June. Otherwise, if one can ignore some other potential pitfalls of the platform - such as the harvesting of personal data, which seems to have become a key feature – installation and usage proved fairly uncomplicated, and the platform was for the most part stable and well behaved. The resulting imbalances ultimately meant our performance data had to be abandoned. Unfortunately, this went unnoticed until the data was processed, at which point some large discrepancies were revealed between machines, with several gigabytes of additional data having been downloaded to some. One such change – to the way updating and patching works – caught our test team somewhat off guard this month, with some overlooked setting having resulted in all sorts of unexpected background behaviour during our performance tests.

The newer version still has some way to go to reach the popularity of Windows 7, with some of the changes introduced in Windows 10 continuing to discourage uptake.

Windows 10 is now the default Windows version pushed by Microsoft, with Windows 7 usage discouraged but still supported. The test report is somewhat delayed, due to a combination of a backlog of work, some health issues, and some rather puzzling behaviour by the platform, so this report will once again be briefer than usual, as well as missing the usual sets of performance data – we hope to see this data reinstated in the next comparative. While the list includes most of the familiar names from the last few years there are also a few fairly recent additions, some of which are still working towards their first VB100 certification.
