As a matter of fact, I am using AVIRA quite fine.
Another option is NOD32, if you want to save money(apparently), go find the *ahem*s yourself. Cheers to all! P.S. (DIRECTED TO SOME IGNORANT AND NAIVE MEMBERS) WARNING!!: DO NOT ASK FOR PIRATED ITEMS IN THIS FORUM. YOU WILL FACE ACTION IF YOU DO SO. Thanks! |

i'm really doubting avira's performance, sure the detection rates are higher than kaspersky, but on many occasions it failed to properly clean/delete the viruses from my thumbdrive and pc.
Whats the use of detecting when it cannot fix the problem ? |

Really? I believe that AVIRA's detection is lower than Kaspersky, even for False Positives.
Clean/Delete viruses? Well, if you know what you are doing, and you know what to do, that shouldn't be a problem. Though I quite agree with the last sentence. "Whats the use of detecting when it cannot fix the problem?" Cheers! |

No, that was not the internal affair I meant.
It has something to do with s "split' within the company or so. AOL was afraid that AVS will be affected, thus they pulled out Kaspersky's Engine. Sad but true. Cheers! P.S. I didn't know that "internal affair" could have such an interesting misunderstanding... LOL |
