In the June issue, Consumer Reports recommends that consumers use free anti-malware tools - the top choice being Avira Free Antivirus, followed by AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012, Avast Free Antivirus and Microsoft Security Essentials, unless the user should be considered among the "most at-risk Internet users." The effectiveness of any "firewall performance," "spam filter," "parental filter" and "non-boot rescue" were also technically reviewed by Consumer Reports and its testing partner. Other categories such as "information help," related to how clear and useful instructions are, and "clear warnings" were examined. The testing also looked at "scan speed" related to how fast large groups of files could be scanned, and "updating" to see how fast each software package would be updated against new malware. It combined these results with other tests related to "ease of use," as well as a measurement of how the software used memory or other "resources" that might slow computer operation during a scan.
