Malwarebytes Premium Security has maintained its long-running, perfect record in protecting users against online threats by blocking 100% of the malware samples deployed in the AV Lab Cybersecurity Foundation’s “Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test.”
For its performance in the May 2024 evaluation, Malwarebytes Premium Security also received a certificate of “Excellence.”
According to AV Lab, such certificates “are granted to solutions that are characterized by a high level of security, with a rating of at least 99% of blocked threats in the Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test.”
Every two months, the cybersecurity and information security experts at AV Lab construct a series of tests to compare cybersecurity vendors against the latest malware that is currently being used by adversaries and threat actors.
For the May evaluation, AV Lab tested 521 unique malware samples against 13 cybersecurity products. Malwarebytes Premium Security detected 521/521 malware samples, with a remediation time of 44 seconds—well below the 52-second average determined by AV Lab in its most recent testing.
Three cybersecurity vendors failed to block 100% of malware tested: ESET, F-Secure, and Panda.

Malwarebytes is proud to once again achieve a 100% score with AVLab’s Advanced In-The-Wild Malware Test, a trusted resource that proves our commitment to user safety.
