If you had read the results. Bitdefender got the best results. So I was curious to see what is different between Bitdefender and Avast since I am a long time Avast user , I tried testing a beta version. There is nothing wrong with curiosity or comparing a product with another and understanding the deficiencies and in this matter why Avast got a lower score.
Edit :
Bitdefender got a score of
Protection 6/6
Repair 6/6
Usability 5/6
I really wonder if anyone can get that score It is kinda hard to believe.
And what makes you think that I hadn’t read the results ??? I try to stay as informed as possible with all of the latest information
from many different vendors. I need to be informed in order to intelligently answer questions.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The only results I care about are the ones I get on my computer.
avast has over 150 million active users to vouch for the efficacy of avast. It’s called word of mouth.
I have helped several people set-up avast an their machines and they are now happy users.
No doubt avast looks at these so called “tests” and will react appropriately.

Read the recent articles on the “Flame” virus. Sucker has been the “wild” for two years and no one can detect it.
Nothing is going to protect you against the new breed of malware except a good HIPS. Something that will detect code injection, hooks, keyloggers, screen scrappers, you name it.
