but the margin between those places is often not that great. The tests may well give 1st, 2nd, 3rd places, etc. So in choosing which one is best, it is a subjective test as it is which one is best for your needs and if you consider any of the above shields necessary to your use of the computer then that must be a factor in your choice. I don't know if avira free also has any P2P monitoring, etc. It also has a malicious sites list, now this and the above aren't tested in av-comparatives. The avast network shield is also on the lookout for worm/virus/exploits on commonly exploited ports. The free version of avira doesn't have mail or web protection as far as I'm aware, two areas that avast does cover and avast's web shield is very effective as stopping hacked web sites even delivering that payload by detecting the exploit you don't have to detect what the payload might be at the other end if it is stopped from being activated.

V 5 was even worse(at least in results) and now you say v.6 will be better In early 2010 avast users said "let V.5 participate in tests and you ll see" In 2010 Avira got the second place seeing F-Secure in first and Symantec in the third rank and avast was not in top 5Īvira took ADVANCE+ in every test they did(7/7) while avast ADVANCE+ score was 3/7

When i find a suspicous file i submit it to avira lab( ) and they answer me as soon as possible,in details.(i have seen the same action in symantec,sophos and mcafee and the last one(mcafee) is the best in that case),but what about avast.?
#Avast or avira for mac software
First of all I should say NONE IS PERFECT,we are not talking about THE PERFECT,but THE BETTER CHOICE,offcource you may get malwares using any software but depending on what antimalware you are using,the possibility may differ.I think Avast Team have been very generous presenting lots of features for their free product but if they wanna compete,they should firstly improve their database and also their support.
