Testing Method and Philosophy

Cybersecurity is constantly evolving and so are we. As a result we do not commit to a particular test methodology and rather focus on gathering the most useful information. All our tests are on video for the world to watch and interpret as they like. We focus on understanding and evaluating the underlying technology behind programs, so as to give our viewers transparency into what is actually between them and cyber armageddon.

At the end of the day any classifier technology including security software is ruled by the confusion matrix, and we keep up with the best in class academic and industry research to make sure that our tests are well placed.

It is also important to understand that our tests are not designed as a pass-fail metric or intended to disrepute any of the products involved. Our main objective is to inform and improve and we are always open to working with product vendors to make cyberspace safer for everyone.

Clean Sheet Record

This chart shows the recent performance of most tested products on The PC Security Channel with respect to pro-active prevention and malicious remnants left on the system. Higher is better.

Scores per test are calculated as follows:

0 - System completely unusable/files encrypted by ransomware
1 - System usable but major infections remain
2 - System usable but minor infections (inactive malware, PUPs, minor artifacts)
3 - Perfect clean sheet.
