The award is the latest in a string of endorsements from third-party testers whose ongoing evaluations help keep us sharp.\\n\\nHere’s a closer look at the results.\\n\\n## AV-TEST Windows Consumer Security Product Test\\n\\nAV-TEST\u2019s Windows Consumer Security Product Test, which took place in March and April, assessed 14 security applications across three categories: how well they protected Windows PCs from malware, how much they slowed down a device, and how often they raised false alarms.\\n\\nAV-TEST noted in its synopsis:\\n\\n\\u003e \u201cWe focused on realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.\u201d\\n\\nTo receive the Top Product award, companies had to score 17.5 points or higher out of a total of 18, earning a maximum of six points in each category. Malwarebytes has received a Top Product endorsement from AV-TEST more than a dozen times since it first began taking the test in 2018.\\n\\n## MRG Effitas Consumer Assessment Certification\\n\\nMalwarebytes once again came out on top in the MRG Effitas Consumer Assessment Certification, which tested eight security products to measure their ability to block malware, protect against phishing, and avoid false positives.\\n\\nMalwarebytes was the only company to achieve Level 1 Certification, meaning we succeeded in stopping all 300 in-the-wild infections without causing damage to the device or its data, generated zero false positives, and blocked at least 79% of phishing attempts. Our phishing detection rate was 100%.\\n\\nThis certification is particularly impressive because the test used newly discovered malware samples, meaning most security products had not encountered them before.\\n\\n## AVLab Advanced In-the-Wild Malware Test\\n\\nContinuing our winning streak, Malwarebytes received a perfect score (421\/421) in AVLab\u2019s Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test, earning an \u201cExcellent\u201d certificate. The test applied existing threats currently circulating online, delivered the way a real user would come across them.\\n\\nTo receive the \u201cExcellent\u201d certification, a security product had to stop at least 99.6% of malware threats, either before they could run or during an attack. We detected and blocked every single real-world threat in an average of 0.508 seconds\u2014a full 3 seconds faster than the industry average.\\n\\nThese types of independent assessments are important. They keep us on top of our game, which in turn keeps our customers safe.\\n\\n* * *\\n\\n\\n\\n### ****\u201cOne of the best cybersecurity suites on the planet.\u201d** **\\n\\nAccording to CNET.
