We write a lot about phishing<\/a>, and always recommend our products<\/a> as the best line of defense. And for good reason \u2014 Kaspersky Premium for Windows<\/a> outperformed 14 other solutions in AV-Comparatives\u2019 2024 Anti-Phishing Test<\/a> \u2014 beating global vendors like Bitdefender, McAfee, Avast, and others.<\/p>\n

\"The

The AV-Comparatives Approved Anti-Phishing certificate \u2014 a mark of quality in protecting users from phishing<\/p><\/div>\n

Because Kaspersky products utilize a unified stack of security technologies, which was rigorously tested by researchers, this award equally applies to our other products and solutions \u2014 both for home users (Kaspersky Standard<\/a>, Kaspersky Plus<\/a>, and Kaspersky Premium<\/a>) and for business (such as Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business<\/a> and Kaspersky Small Office Security<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n

About the test<\/h2>\n

\nThe independent Austrian organization AV-Comparatives<\/a> has a 25-year track of record of evaluating the effectiveness of cybersecurity products and solutions. This latest test assessed how well popular cybersecurity solutions protect users from phishing threats while browsing the web and using email.<\/p>\n

The test ran from May 17 to 28, 2024, using a selection of 275 fresh and active phishing links. The phishing URLs included sites designed to steal data from bank cards, PayPal and online banking accounts, Dropbox and eBay, social media and email accounts, online games, and other online services. To test for false positives, 250 links to legitimate online banking services worldwide were also included.<\/p>\n

To achieve certification, security solutions had to block at least 85% of phishing addresses and avoid any false positives on legitimate websites. Kaspersky Premium for Windows<\/a> blocked the highest number of phishing links among all the test\u2019s participants \u2014 93% \u2014 without a single false positive, securing first place. Only seven of the 15 tested solutions from other vendors met the certification criteria \u2014 albeit with lower scores: McAfee (92%), Avast (91%), Trend Micro (89%), Fortinet (89%), Bitdefender (89%), ESET (87%), and NordVPN (85%).<\/p>\n

\"Comparison<\/a>

Comparison of AV-Comparatives\u2019 anti-phishing test results for eight certified protection solutions<\/p><\/div>\n

AV-Comparatives has been conducting its anti-phishing test \u2014 whose list of threats and legitimate websites is updated annually \u2014 since 2011, and our products have excelled consistently year after year. The test is performed on computers with identical hardware configurations, operating systems, and browsers, simultaneously for all security solutions put to the test. All other phishing protection mechanisms in the operating system or browser are disabled. Each tested product is configured to default settings and has unlimited internet access and the ability to update throughout the test. A visit to a phishing site is only considered as detected if the security solution warns the user that the site is unsafe.\n<\/p>\n

A legacy of success<\/h2>\n

\nIn 2023 alone, our products participated in 100 independent studies and emerged victorious 93 times<\/a>. Since 2013, our products have undergone rigorous testing by independent researchers 927 times, achieving 680 first-place finishes, and placing in the top-three 779 times. This is an absolute record among all security solution vendors \u2014 both in terms of tests conducted and victories secured.<\/p>\n
