Component protection metrics for security product development: I. AV-TEST Full Product Tests

The AV-TEST Full Product Tests were used to perform iterative private tests on pre-release builds of version 6 of the Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security Windows endpoint product. The Full Product Tests include separate measurements of the protection provided by the consumer endpoint security product including measurements of blocking “real world” attacks; detecting and removing rootkits; cleaning malware infections; blocking malware execution; and detecting and removing stored malware files. All tests were conducted as a private “piggyback” on regularly scheduled public tests of the new version's predecessor and currently released versions of competitor peer products.
