Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. <\/p>\n

Independent recognition matters in cybersecurity, and it matters a lot to us.\u00a0It shows how security products perform when they\u2019re tested against in-the-wild threats, using lab environments designed to reflect what people actually face in the real world.<\/p>\n

In\u00a02025,\u00a0Malwarebytes earned awards and recognition\u00a0from\u00a0a steady stream of third-party\u00a0testing labs and industry groups.\u00a0Here\u2019s what those tests looked like and what they found.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Malwarebytes Premium Security detected every single one. On top of that, it removed threats with an average remediation time of\u00a02.18\u00a0seconds\u2014nearly\u00a012\u00a0seconds faster than the industry average.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

That result also marked our third Excellent badge in 2025, following earlier tests in July and September.<\/p>\n
