It blocked connection to the malware-hosting URL in most cases, and blocked others during the download process.

It's score of 5.3 points for overall malware cleanup is precisely average, well below the 6.6 point achieved by Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2013 and Norton 360 (2013). In the end, its test results weren't impressive.
