App Review [Battle Test] Avast Free 2015 (Max Settings) vs Emsisoft Anti-Malware (Max Settings) (Manzaitest)

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Its realy, realy hard to read the "Rating: Excellent" from avast with the white theme. Can u maybe change it to another color? Anyway, nice review and nice from avast and emsisoft. Both are exelent products. Avast just need abit of tweaking for nice protection.

Strong performance from both AV's:eek::). As i can see avast needs improvement on signatures but on the other hand has improved a lot their 0-day protection which is good;).
Emsisoft seems to be a top notch AV and a very good choice for protecting our pc:D.
Great review Manzai and very informative:)
