Once again Avira scores great with its detection rate. AntiVirusKit (AVK) was almost as good - I haven't even heard about it!

Yes I know. I always used NOD32 and recently switched to AntiVir. First scan found a Trojan kicking around for the past year. Some magic.dll thing.

Date created was July of 07. But it was just laying there. I uploaded to VirusTotal.com and sure it was a trojan. Low one but glad Avria found it.

Yes, less functionality, but I suppose it has exactly the same signature database (=> 99%+ detection).

the premium edition has : email scanner (it's redundant, i think) faster update through premium server (free edition update isn't bad) spyware protection (there's a lot of other FREE antispywares) 5 euro donation to auerbach foundation  http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html  long live freeware |

Once again Avira shows great results! It's great to see this fantastic product do so consistently well  Am I sounding like a fanboy here?  |

Come now all, you all should know to take these results with a grain of salt. Im sorry to spoil all of your fun, but we all know (sub consciously) that avira isnt better because this site says so. Nod 32 could truly be better, yet its just a test, and in no way can determine what is truly good. Sorry to spoil your fun Avira'ers  |

Im using the premium here. The classic is okay but premium is better. |
