avast does not get a good picture… don’t you think so?
Avira is quite good in performance tests. AVG is not bad in this point also.
Well, I think (because I experience) that avast! slows the systems. BUT its speed is improved , and it’s lighter than it was. So I don’t understand the not so good results - for example tail-ender in “PC Mark Music”.
If they’ve used the same version that they used in the retospective test that was run on the 6th of december with 5.0.594 then these result’s dont mean much.
Av comparatives have a bad habit of using outdated avast versions in there testing’s and even with the old version i think it still scored pretty well, overall was in the top (three stars) level 
What do you mean, Tech? ???
Avast did better than both AVG and Avira. (overall it placed 4th)

Waitin for avast 2011 
+1
And better than paid products
Maybe I’ve read bad the final conclusions… I don’t have time now to review. Will do it later. Sorry if I misunderstood.
