SE Labs undertakes continual public testing, private assessments and collates feedback from corporate clients in order to provide thoroughly researched buying advice for consumers and businesses. The SE Labs Awards are the culmination of this work, and the winners are chosen based on a combination of test results and customer feedback.
Simon Edwards, CEO at SE Labs, said, “Avast won this award for its Avast Free Antivirus as the program has shown consistently strong results against the world’s most challenging endpoint detection test. At SE Labs, our tests are based on real-world threats rather than on an artificial test environment – we identified the worthy winners of our 2020 awards through this testing and also by collating user feedback.”
