This is something that is intended by design, as cloud-based antivirus services check your PC against the latest threats. In the online mode, though, Microsoft Defender netted a 98.8% detection rate, up at the top with Avast’s 99.5%. Only Trend Micro ranked worse than Microsoft on offline detection, coming in at 36.1% detection. It had a 60.3% detection rate compared to others on the list like Avast’s 94.2%, or Kasperksy’s 78%. In the file detection tests, Microsoft Defender ranked poorly when tested in offline mode. With malware protection, meanwhile, it is all about preventing a malicious program from making changes.
With file detection, the group tested how well antivirus software can detect good files versus malicious files. File detection had both an offline and online mode, and the latter option doesn’t. The first is file detection and the second is malware protection. In the study, spotted by Neowin, AV-Comparatives performed two specific tests.
