"Excellent antivirus"
Version: Avira Antivirus Premium 2012 12.0.0.865
Pros
-excellent detection one of the best if not the best.
-light on ressource (if not just turn of advance process protection)that will fix the problem.
-the price is very good just purchased avira antivirus premium for 3 years and it cost me 50$ this is awsome.
-Avira is fully compatible with comodo firewall and defense + which is great thats what i use..
im telling you this product is great.Cons
none the only con i have is that cnet only give them a 4 star but i guess avira dont pay them (cnet) as much as norton,avg,kaspersky etc..
Summary
-I did a test 115 zero day malware samples with the following antivirus (ill put them in order best to last with scores)
1-Avira antivirus 2012 Free-Paid 2012: 81% Detection
2-Panda Cloud Antivirus Free-Paid: 70% Detection
3-Comodo Internet Security 5.9: 67% Detection
4-Avast Antivirus Free-Paid 6: 63% Detection
4-Avg Antivirus Free-Paid 2012: 63% Detection
5-Vipre Antivirus 2012: 62% Detection
6-Microsoft Security Essentials 2.1: 51% Detection
7-Norton Internet Security 2012: 46% Detection
8-Eset Smart Security 5: 42% Detection
So Avira came out on top im not a avira fan i just tell it like it is.
-features are good too but could add a bit more but not too much because thats what bugs down computers when they have too much features it makes it heavy on system performance.
Anyway Keep up the good work avira.. -
"worst software ever"
Version: Avira Antivirus Premium 2012 12.0.0.865
Pros
no one, is garbage
Cons
all, especially the uninstall

"Very efficient program....works well."
Version: Avira Antivirus Premium 2012 12.0.0.865
Pros
Downloads easily. Has a simple but comprehensive interface. Offers a raft of choices as to what you want to scan. Moving up from the free version gives you some comforting protection from incoming mail and internet crusing.Downloads updates continuously.
Cons
Scans are SLOW. For instance, I chose the " quick scan " option. In this case, the scan looked like this:
Scanned files......179,803
Scanned directories....17,825
Scanned archives....844
Such a " quick scan " took 13 MINUTES.Summary
It's a good, comprehensive package of protecting capabilities. It's not a power hog and has no appreciable effect on the operating speed of my computer. But the scans I've experienced so far have been SLOW. I have the fastest cable internet connection you can get. I run Widows 7 64 bit. I have 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM.
