McAfee Wins AV-TEST Awards for Best Advanced Protection and Best Performance | McAfee Blog

We’re thrilled to share that McAfee has earned two prestigious AV-TEST Awards: Best Advanced Protection and Best Performance for Consumer Users. 

These awards recognize our commitment to delivering powerful protection from malware, data stealers, and other threats—without slowing down your devices. Throughout 2024, McAfee consistently excelled in AV-TEST’s rigorous evaluations, standing out for both threat detection and system efficiency. 

“We are honored to receive the Best Advanced Protection and the Best PC Performance awards,” said McAfee Chief Technology Officer Steve Grobman. “AV-TEST is a renowned institute with a reputation for analysis and quality assurance that stands tall, and this recognition further reinforces our leadership in online protection. The internet is an integral part of our daily lives, and as online technology and services constantly change so do the tactics that cybercriminals deploy. With our AI-powered threat protection, we remain committed to staying one step ahead.” 

As the only vendor to top both categories in 2024, McAfee is proud to provide trusted protection that enhances—not hinders—your PC’s performance.
