I hope Avast works on there Detection because in all of the test they don’t come out that we’ll versus the other Antivirus like F-Secure , Avira , Symantec , Bitdefender etc etc. I hope that the Avast 7 version wi’ll detect better because i like Avast but i am testing F-Secure 2012 at this moment because it detects better.
I care more about how much new and active malware avast detects.
A lot of malware samples in these tests are practically “dead”.
Avira free may have a little more detection rate than avast free but avast have more features and it have web shield.Avira free will ask you to install “ask toolbar” to enable the web shield protection.
The eternally advice: don’t depend on only one security software.
False. Never depend on multiple security softwares because they can cause conflits in your computer, which will have a serious effect on your computer’s saftey and performance.
I don’t mean that you should run two or more antiviruses at the time.
There are many free on-demand scanners, sandboxing, firewalls and HIPS that will add more layers to your security.
