    nsslabs Consumer Anti-Malware Products: Group Test Report Q3 2010

    pdf report


    Malware protection is far from commodity, with effectiveness ranging between 54% and 90%, a 36% spread

    Cybercriminals have between a 10% - 45% chance of getting past your AV with Web Malware (depending on the product)

    Cybercriminals have between 25% - 97% chance of compromising your machine using exploits (depending on the product)

    Expect use of exploits to increase since it is far more effective than traditional malware
