as for shite ill just leave these here..

"Of the 14 candidates tested, our all-round Internet protection program, the Avira Premium Security Suite, took first place with ease!"

"Avira takes the VB100 award once again in February 2010! Our anti-virus solution was required to face up to a whole battery of harmful malware under Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11. The result: no problems. Our software detected all viruses - with no false positives. Even in the toughest test, in which the latest malware was let loose on a version of Avira AntiVir 3.0.5 for Linux Server that had not been updated, the detection rate was an impressive 85.3%. This was the best proactive result among all nine test candidates!"

"Once again in December 2009 Avira‘s Premium Security Suite demonstrated its consistently good performance. As in the previous tests, PC Security Lab gave the product the 5-star award for excellent malware protection. The sixth PC-Security Labs award in a row is proof that users are always safe in the hands of Avira!"

"
A simple list of detection rates, from research by av-comparatives.org February 2009
Out of a total of 1.274.928 viruses, trojans, worms and malware the following list tells us the detection rates of the different AntiVirus programs: Avira 99.7% "


"avira has a 99.6% detection rate of the on-demand scanner (highest detection rate of all anti-viruses) and 71%(the highest detection rate of the proactive guard even higher than nod32 which scored 57% in the proactive test for more information visit av-comparatives.com."


". AntiVir is very light on resources and the detection rate of malware is outstanding, better than almost every other antivirus according to tests."
