"The best free virus protection on the market"
Pros: Simple to use, great detection rate, and daily updates.

Avira just detected the new virus TR/Dldr.WMA.Wimad.N while I was downloading some MP3's on Limwire so I quarentined them and just did a Google search on this virus and guess what..? Norton and Avast are not finding this virus and many others are not..Kaspersky and AVG did find it like Avira and this is not a false positive..This is a new virus and there is a warning on google about it and you can also find the Antivirus Programs that are finding it and the ones that are not...I am very careful about the size of MP3's or anything else on P2P sites when downloading.Don't download anything below 1,000kb for a MP3 and no way download the smaller 94.5kb for a MP3..Most are good if 3,000kb or more but now you can't tell..The 2 that I just got the viruses Avira found were 5,451kb and not small....Since I can't post a link just Google TR/Dldr.WMA.Wimad.N and read about this virus.Thank You Avira for finding this...I feel safer with Avira than anything right now.If you are not using Avira be careful downloading music MP3's...
