This report includes newly obtained results from these current software products as well as previously obtained benchmark results from last generation software products released in 2010. Where applicable, we have tested new versions of software released for the year 2011. Subsequent editions of this report will include new products released for 2011 as they are made available. For more details on which versions were tested, please see the section “Products and Versions ”. Testing was performed on all products using sixteen performance metrics. These performance metrics are as follows:  Boot Time;  Scan Time;  User Interface Launch Time;  Memory Usage during System Idle;  Browse Time;  Internet Explorer Launch Time;  Installation Size;  Installation Time;  Registry Keys Added;  File Copy, Move and Delete;  Installation of Third Party Applications;  Network Throughput (previously named “Binary Download Test”)  File Format Conversion;  File Compression and Decompression; and  File Write, Open and Close  Scan Time of a Solid State Drive (SSD) (Antivirus Products only) Performance Benchmark Page 5 of 37 Report 2 30 September 2010 Internet Security Consumer Antivirus Software PassMark Software Products and Versions Where possible, we have tested the full, retail release of the newest generation (2011 versions) of Internet Security and Anti-Virus software products. Where newer releases were not yet available, PassMark Software has either re-tested the latest version of the software, or used previously obtained results for the last generation (2010 versions) of Internet Security products. PassMark Software intends to test new, major releases of Internet Security products as they become publically available. In future editions on this report, results for newer versions of software will supersede previously obtained results for older versions of software.
