I also looked at AV-Comparatives latest Malware Protection Test. Avast in March 2020 scored 98.2% and in April, a little higher, at 99%. In AV-Test’s March 2020 results, Kaspersky received a 100% score for the protection of malware attacks, and in April scored 99%. Both websites are the best known independent AV testing labs. To further the comparison, I took a look at the latest available data from the malware protection test (Real-Time Testing) from AV-Test independent test online and AV Comparatives website. For the live samples, Avast blocked all three. On the other hand, Avast allowed the EICAR samples when downloaded over HTTPS, but blocked them on HTTP. For the live samples, Kaspersky immediately deleted them after being unlocked and zipped. Kaspersky successfully identified all EICAR samples, and all were blocked. The results in the table below compare the test results from both Avast and Kaspersky.

I turned off real-time detection on my computer and ran a full system scan and a quick scan to see how well the malware was detected and quarantined for each.

In 2016, Avast acquired antivirus company AVG. However, Avast has come under fire recently after a news story highlighted that Avast collected and sold user data. Avast is from the Czech Republic and has over 1700 employees.
