Education and information is the best defense, (as with so many things in life). When we are all better informed when it comes to this important area of security in this day of cyber threats, we all benefit.

I am posting this to support the Mac Community. In fact this is exactly the kind of site and test results, that vendors DON'T want you to see, even the ones that do well on the test (because no product is 100%). The fact that the product rankings change constantly AND that the results are very specific and listed in detail, further support that this site and the tester are very objective. I've done a bit of research on the site and tester, to make sure it was not one of those 'sponsored' sites by a vendor that are made to appear as objective, neutral reviews. Historical results are maintained so you can compare over time, and you do see product results change with each test (done every month to every 3 months depending on whether there are any new reported malware in the field, and a sample can be obtained for testing). These are very detailed, showing EXACTLY by name for each malware/virus if it is detected or not, for each product, then products are ranked 95%, 85%, 75% etc based on detection rates. Detailed malware detection test results are regularly posted here for nearly 2 dozen products, free and paid:
