AV-TEST is an independent organization which evaluates and rates antivirus and security suite software[1] for Microsoft Windows and Android operating systems,[2] according to a variety of criteria. Every other month, the researchers publish the results of their testing,[3][4] where they list which products they awarded their certification.[5] The organisation is based in Magdeburg, in Germany.[3][5] In 2013 the security specialist and CEO of IT security company Kaspersky Lab, Eugene Kaspersky, criticized AV-TEST for changing their certification process.[6]
