AV-TEST Award 2024 for AVG
Every day, cybersecurity products deliver monitoring and protection services reliably in the background, unnoticed by many end users and company employees. The renowned AV-TEST Institute has been testing and recognizing these "hidden champions" for over 20 years. This year, the institute is once again presenting its coveted AV-TEST Awards 2024. In thousands of tests, the experts examined name-brand protection products for consumer users and corporate users on Windows, Mac and Android and certified them for their strong security performance. The AV-TEST Award 2024 honors the products that have consistently stood out with top scores and achieved peak ratings in the long-term test results throughout 2024. The award in the test category of Best MacOS Security for Consumer Users goes to AVG from Gen Digital.

AV-TEST Award – recognition for verified IT security
Comprehensible, standards-based tests are a high priority for the experts at the AV-TEST Institute. All products evaluated in the test labs for Windows, Mac and Android always undergo a defined test structure and documentation. Only this professional approach ensures that test results are reproducible, valid and consistent at all times. That is why the institute explains all test procedures openly and transparently on its website. All the products tested and certified in 2024 always received clear ratings in the areas of Protection (protective function), Performance (speed) and Usability (user-friendliness). In addition to the standard tests for the operating systems mentioned, the testers also evaluated products under Windows in the special Advanced Threat Protection test. This ATP test offers insights into how Windows products are able to defend against ransomware and info stealers in real-life scenarios.
In all tests in 2024, the products examined and meeting the demanding test criteria received a certificate for tested security against digital threats. If products achieved results significantly above the industry standard at the end of a test evaluation, the AV-TEST team also awarded the distinction of "TOP PRODUCT". The products honored in an award category participated in all laboratory tests without exception throughout 2024. AV-TEST summarizes the results of these tests and uses them as the basis for determining the award winners. The AV-TEST Award leads to greater trust in the tested products among corporate users, consumer users and the media, as the awards stand for tested security on a long-term basis and according to the highest professional standards.
AV-TEST Award for AVG – award-winning IT security
It is safe to say that no user wants to witness in real time on their Mac how malware commandeers their system, stealing, encrypting or perhaps even destroying their data. What users want is protection software that works silently and reliably in the background under MacOS, only reporting back from time to time to let them know that everything is OK.
In the tests for greater protection under MacOS, the AntiVirus package from AVG showed throughout the test year how effectively it detects and fends off attackers. In addition, the package was so easy on resources that it did not burden or slow down the MacOS system. For this good performance, the AV-TEST team is giving the Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users to AVG from Gen Digital.
"Protecting consumer users is not always an easy task for security software, as there is no system administrator at home to monitor what people are allowed or not allowed to do on their PCs. The AntiVirus package for MacOS from AVG plays a good dual role, keeping perfect watch over the user and their actions. For this excellent performance, the AV-TEST team is conferring to AVG the Best MacOS Security Award for Consumer Users. Congratulations to the winner!,” says Erik Heyland, Head of Testing Labs at AV-TEST.
