It's the best I've seen so far. Previously I had Norton Suite and various free AV programs and they didn't always protect me nor got rid of every infection.

I like its boot-time scan feature that scan and fix the system prior to loading the OS. Been using it for quite sometime now (the Home Ed.)

This was suggested by one of our tech guys, but obviously, it's not as strict as Avira, as eventually a few bugs got through it.

Yeah. Those statistics they've posted seem mostly to be compared to specialised scanners though, so obviously they will only detect what they are designed for. Plus, they don't give the reverse figures of what they miss which other products catch. Those figures are purely marketing hype.


They all say in their installation options not to run others alongside I thought? Some don't even let you install if they've detected certain other known products.(McAfee?)

Not if you run the decent products they won't. I wouldn't touch Norton/McAfee with a bargepole, (or anyone elses for that matter). big_smile Anti-virus wise, ClamAV/ClamWin is a nice cross platform option. Spyware, there are plenty of options for.

Your best option is to run several products alongside each other. Relying upon one alone will always miss something. That one you've posted the link to seems to be a general cover everything type programme, (with misleading statistics, might I add). I'd personally suggest running tools which are designed for each specific area. They tend to be far better in their specific field.
