Posted December 11, 200816 yr From Matthew Rizos at http://remove-malware.com/ Avira AntiVir Free Version 8 Prevention Test Review Posted by malwarekilla December 11, 2008 Video of Test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_eDef2r5is...ve-malware.com/ I tested Avira AntiVir 8 last night (the free version) and it blocked (quarantined) 5 out 5 pieces of malware. Perfection! 3 pieces of malware were detected via Avira's signature engine and 2 others were blocked via the Avira heuristics engine (very nice for a free app btw). Here are facts: 5 Malicious URL's tested. 5 Malicious URL's were prevented from infecting the host computer Internet Explorer was used. PC was clean Avira AntiVir Free version 8 was used Signature DB was updated minutes before test Heuristics were set to high
December 12, 200816 yr A very small number of malware samples were used in this test, it really doesn't mean much. Avira is very good, but from all reports the free version has very slow updating. With the pay version, you get access to the premium update servers.
