good to see AVira has outperformed Avast in Virus Buletin 2011/04 chart and Avira also has a free version which uses the same engine that is available for commercial version ;-)

thanks for the feedback

still using the fully updated 10.2.0.704 - looks like auto update has not updated it to 12.0.0.849 ( this the version no. of the free 2012 edition - correct me if this is wrong ).

Will manually download and install the 2012 free edition asap ;-)

one of the rare guys who use AVG :) i stopped using (& recommending AVG) more than a year ago. heavy on the system and a lot of ads/banners.

and independent antivirus labs gave Avira real good ratings.....

only complain about Avira is its scanning speed. i felt it to be a bit slower than Avast. or maybe cause display drivers were not installed. it was done in a freshly installed Win7.

One of the best antivirus is 'yourself'
I'm just starting to use bitdefender antivirus pro 2011 which is paid copy but luckily got it for free. Let's see what it is all about.

^^ thanks for the info - funny thing is the link on Avira's website takes you to cnet's download.com to download the free version and they are still showing they have 12.0.0.849 dated oct 3 ;-)

even softpedia is showing the latest version as 12.0.0.861 last updated on 25th Oct - so from now on if I have to download Avira's latest free version I'll not use the official website instead will get it from softpedia anyway ;-)
