McAfee Ranks #1 in Detection Rates in Independent Testing

McAfee Achieves Near Perfect 99.9% Detection Rates

ComputerBild, a leading German consumer technology magazine, ranked McAfee as the clear leader in a comparative test of 9 leading security vendors. ComputerBild called McAfee’s results:

"a fabulous detection rate of 99.9 percent"

The detection testing was conducted by AV Test.org, a leading independent firm testing and analyzing anti-virus and security products around the world. After putting each product through it paces with thorough testing on over half a million viruses, only 64 remained undetected by McAfee. In the words of ComputerBild:

"There's never been a program as good as that (McAfee) since the COMPUTERBILD Security Center started!"

The chart above from ComputerBild shows McAfee’s leadership in detection rates.

Artemis Delivers!

Artemis was the clear differentiator for McAfee in this test and continues to deliver on its promise of always-on, real-time protection that secures enterprises and consumers from new and known threats as they strike. With 35 million nodes enabled, Artemis uses its unique collective threat intelligence in the cloud to deliver real time protection in milliseconds as opposed to hours and days.
