Windows XP – Full Results

- Software passed the test – no penalty incurred - Software failed the test – penalty incurred according to ‘Fail Penalty’ column

# Test Cycles– Number of times that this software has been tested by registered testers with the full suite of tests. Each software can only be tested once per registered tester on a particular operating system. Clicking the links in this row will take the user to a page where individual test cards can be downloaded in .pdf format.

Fail Penalty – The penalty subtracted from the software score if this test is failed.

Maximum Penalty – The total score should a software fail every single test. For the Suite 1 portfolio of tests, this stands at - 4665.

Software Score – The aggregate penalty for each software is recorded at the foot of each column as a negative (minus) number. The closer to zero, the stronger the protection.

Note: Firewall Leak tests must be allowed to execute in order to test the protection afforded by the firewall. If the test cannot be executed then, obviously, the tester is not able to evaluate the firewall's ability to block the outgoing connection attempt. For example, signature based detection in the AV component of an application may detect a particular test as a Trojan - blocking its execution simply because that particular signature is on its blacklist. This does not provide any indication of protection against the technique that the test uses – and a piece of malware using the same technique but with an unknown/non-blacklisted signature may well be successful. Our testers will try to make an exception in order to bypass signature blacklisting and run the test, but if this is impossible then we record a straight fail.
