## AV-TEST
AV-TEST is an independent IT security institute from Germany and has been testing internationally relevant IT security products for over 15 years.
The AV-TEST Product Review and Certification Report tests on three categories: protection, performance, and usability. The scores listed below are for the protection category against malware infections which has two scores, the AV-Test reference set (known as just "prevalent malware") and the real world testing.
**Real-world testing** refers to protection against zero-day malware attacks, inclusive of web and email threats.
**Prevalent malware** refers to detection of widespread and prevalent malware discovered in the last 4 weeks.
The below scores are the results of AV-TEST tests on **Windows Defender ATP antivirus capabilities**.

The **Real-World Protection Test (Enterprise)** evaluates the “real-world” protection capabilities with default settings. The goal is to find out whether the security software protects the computer by either hindering the malware from changing any systems or remediating all changes if any were made.
The **Malware Protection Test Enterprise** assesses a security programs ability to protect a system against infection by malicious files before, during or after execution. It is only tested every *six months*.
