Avira's engine detects more binaries so they are ignorent with additional features...while avast labs classify binaries and URL's in a seperate manner...here is a example:

3 fakeAV's sites..

avira will run after getting signatures for the 3 things meanwhile the bad guys will get more sites up with same IP to spread the fakeAV's

while avast will block the IP address first...and then will detect the binaries in a short time...I can give you a live example if you want at this point :cool:

no one can deny that avast is perfect security and protect it user by its various function and its just impossible for malware to bypass to computer without avast knowledge(an idiot user can infect his computer even though God Antivirusinstalled on his computer):p
But I maintain avira have better detection Rate

No idea, would have to test them, but from the good review that Biozfear did I would have to say Avast would have to be my choice, also because of all the features you can get with it.

I haven't tested both products. I only tested avast free and avira av premium. So I won't be voting until I do a test and perhaps a review of both. If we are to look in a nutshell, avast offers more than Avira, but then we will have to consider other factors: Avira detection rate is known to be amongst the best, while avast doesn't come as close even with cloud technology.

Yet if we are to compare the modules they have in common, it boils down to scan speed, removal capabilities, up until a point web protection and finally firewall.

Both products take different approaches to protect a user.

We have to also check the impact on pc usage. Avast is driving me nuts. Again net connectivity issues started. I am switching to Vipre.

How is Avira in the lead? Avast has alot more than Avira like auto sandbox and BB...I have a license but will never use it on my machine probably a friends or family member.

Just because avast has more features, doesn't make Avira a bad product. Although I have reviewed their Premium version and not Internet Security, it is still a very solid solution.

Avast as of version 7 only had problems. Prior to last build or patch, however you want to call it, avast 7 suffered from random BSoDs and many users still report a system reboot and shutdown slowdown. There is no trend on the slowdown though. But for example, on my i7 I can definitely notice the slowdown while on the Toshiba AMD mid-end laptop the slowdown is barely noticeable.

Avira has a good detection rate for starters. UI responsiveness has improved. Good zero day protection and web protection are also a feature of Avira.

Have a look at the results here.

People I bet are people are voting for the ones that they have used in the past, like I said earlier in this thread I can't vote because I would have to test both again to find out which one to use.

Good zero day protection

How? what is it's zero day protection?
It has good signatures but even in languy's review he said there's no zero day.
Even though Avast may have some bugs it has a BB and sandbox which is great.

No one said the features of avast are not great. But Avira is not far behind in terms of protecting the user either.

Both solutions take a different approach to protect the user using different methods.

Its the same when most people say Avast and Comodo have sandbox so its the same thing when it is completely incorrect.

Give Avira a try (Premium or IS version) and conduct the tests yourself.

I am aware of Languy's video and up until a point I agree. Yet it didn't preform bad either.

I'm not saying Avira sucks but i'd feel more secure with Avast and what it has vs. Avira and it's protection.
Thanks
