BEST SECURITY SUITES: Stop wasting money.

Both of the testing organisations featured in this Labs (see below) also scan a large number of harmless programs and websites to check that the security software correctly gives the green light. The program's Trusted Applications mode locks down Windows so only programs that have been positively validated by Kaspersky as safe can be opened - perfect for a kid's PC, or for a less technically able family member. Since then it's been not only renamed but progressively absorbed into Windows, to the extent that Defender no longer exists at all as a program in its own right: type its name into the Windows 10 Start menu and you'll simply be directed to the main Security page in the Settings app. AV-Test also rated G Data Internet Security one of the slowest security suites around, noting a performance drop-off of around 12% when visiting popular websites and launching applications, along with a steep 29% hit when installing new software. The real, useful meat of the program comes down to three components: an automatic software updater, McAfee's WebAdvisor plugin (for Chrome, Edge and Firefox) and the good old virus scanner.
