Antivirus AI Android - AV-TEST certification with an outstanding detection rate

Protectstar™ is pleased to announce that Antivirus AI Android, version 1.5, has successfully passed the prestigious AV-TEST certification for Android security software in November 2023. This award impressively demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of the in-house Android antivirus scanner.

The independent research institute for IT security, AV-TEST GmbH, based in Magdeburg, Germany, subjected Antivirus AI Android 1.5 to a thorough test. The certification confirms that the Protectstar™ malware scanner meets the institute's strict security requirements. This seal of quality is only awarded to products that demonstrably meet high-security standards. This award is regarded as a hallmark of tested security, a quality feature only awarded to the best IT security products.

Outstanding detection performance
In the test, Antivirus AI Android showed an impressive detection rate of 99.5% in identifying widespread Android malware detected in the last four weeks. Out of 3095 malware samples, 17 were not detected, which underlines the high efficiency of the protection system. The improvements in malware detection have been incorporated into version 2.0 of Antivirus AI Android, which was released in December.

Optimization after false positives
Despite the high detection rate, the AI of Antivirus AI generated five false positives during the tests. Protectstar™ then optimized the learning algorithm to reduce the number of future false positives further. To confirm the effectiveness of these optimizations, Protectstar™ will participate in AV-TEST again in 2024.
