Detects drive-by downloads of malware
Drive-by download means two things, each concerning the unintended download of computer software from the Internet:
- Downloads which a person has authorized but without understanding the consequences (e.g. downloads which install an unknown or counterfeit executable program, ActiveX component, or Java applet) automatically.
- Any download that happens without a person’s knowledge, often a computer virus, spyware, malware, or crimeware.
To verify if your Android security software detects drive-by downloads of malware, a simulated “drive-by download” will be initiated: a new web page will open and your browser will automatically attempt to download the AMTSO test APK file for Android.
This file is NOT actually malicious, but by industry-wide agreement this file is detected as malicious by mainstream products with Android anti-malware functionality so that people can verify that their anti-malware product’s detection capability is configured correctly.
When you click on this button, a simulated “drive-by download” is initiated: a new web page will open and your browser will automatically attempt to download the AMTSO test APK file for Android.
If you are able to download or install this file successfully, your anti-malware solution is NOT configured correctly or DOES NOT conform with industry best practice.

Please contact your vendor’s support department for instructions explaining how to enable the feature in your product.

Test Title: MRG Effitas Q4 2020 360 Android Assessment and Certification
AMTSO Test ID: AMTSO-LS1-TP030
Statement from Test Lab:
“A first-of-its-kind test that covers all angles, our pioneering 360 Android Assessment and Certification Test targets the key threats faced by internet users. In each test case we employ the full spectrum of Early Life Malware.
MRG Effitas has a core focus on efficacy assessments in the anti-financial fraud space, but we also publish more traditional “Real World” detection tests. Our Android test suite provides a comprehensive yet realistic test set for any Android AV on the market to make sure that its protection capabilities are sufficient for security conscious real-life users.
This Programme is called a “360 Android Assessment and Certification” since it deals with the full spectrum of malware instead of just financial malware. In all 360 Assessments, trojans, backdoors, ransomware, financial malware and “other” malware are used.”
