At this closed test, which took place in November, AV-TEST examined more than 20 mobile security products. AhnLab V3 Mobile was submitted for testing on Android and achieved a 96.62 percent detection rate for Android malware without a single false positive. In the performance impact test which measured the total average CPU usage, AhnLab V3 Mobile was the only security app which scored less than one percent (0.24 percent) out of the products tested.

"AhnLab V3 Mobile scored much higher in our malware blocking tests than the majority of other reviewed Android Security Apps without generating a single false positive," said Andreas Marx, CEO, AV-TEST. "We were impressed by the V3 Mobile's anti-theft features and call/message filters as well. And there was no measurable performance impact."

"We are pleased that the V3 Mobile scored such a high ranking in tests conducted by a prestigious organization such as AV-TEST," said Philip Kim, CEO, AhnLab. "With these results, AhnLab's proven solution for Android is one users can count on especially as security threats for mobile devices grow more serious and tangible."
