Users should be aware that detection rates may in some cases be drastically lower if the scan is performed while offline (or when the cloud service is unreachable for various reasons).

Our tests are performed using an active Internet connection.

Please note: Several products make use of cloud technologies, which require an active Internet connection. The test is thus called File Detection Test (as opposed to the earlier On-Demand Tests), as on-access scanning is taken into consideration. Although no samples were executed during this test, we considered cases where malware would be recognized on-access, but not on-demand. The detections made by the security product are noted and analysed. On each test system the malware set is scanned. To ensure that all file recognition capabilities are used, we enabled scan of all files, scan of archives and scan for PUA in all products. All products had Internet/cloud-access during the test and were tested using default settings.

The malware sets were frozen on the 17 th August 2015. Trend Micro Internet Security 8.0 Build: Įach test system is running on Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 64-Bit including a respective security product, which was last updated on the 3 rd of February 2015.
