To Umbra : I'm right, you did not test avast! with new cloud features ....
Comodo ? Valkyrie has been releasing for 2 years, still nothing done from it with Comodo cloud ....
Avast is OK for PC protection and now comes to prevention with Evo-Gen, Similarity Search and soon Dyna detections generated automatically.

It is pointless comparing a Beta/RC build with another product that has been released already.
avast! since version 7 has nothing more to offer than problems and it is a known fact, including windows 8 support and all the bugs and issues that it generated.
I can count with my fingers how many stable builds of version 7 there are: 2.
As for version 8, my personal opinion is this: incorporation of useless tools without focusing on existing problems.
Behavior Shield remains basically untouched and is still dependent on other shields, yet avast! itself allows the customization of turning each shield off upon installation as it would work fine and independent, which is not true.
Version 8 comes out and it will be exactly what happened with BitDefender 2013 upon launch.
Let's not jump into conclusions on how much avast has "improved" until a final release is shown and guaranteed to be more problems. A trend in avast since release of version 7.
