The overall standard of detection in this test is very high. This is partly due to the focus on prevalent
malware samples, and partly due to the time required to find out what is prevalent and for sample
verification. The results may indirectly show which products have a lower time-to-detect rate, i.e. are
faster in detecting/reacting to new malware. Furthermore, several products in the test make use of
third-party engines (see footnote on page 4), due to which they all score similarly highly.
