[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1121330, member: 32260"] There are some hints that Avira can currently use Cloud Sandbox API: [HEADING=2][B]Dynamic Analysis: Unmasking Zero-Day Threats[/B][/HEADING] Avira's behaviour-based detection extends to dynamic analysis, a process that [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]involves the execution of files in a controlled environment [/COLOR][/B]to observe their behaviour. This approach is particularly effective in unmasking zero-day threats – previously unknown and unclassified malware.

If so, then there is no reason to think that Bitdefender, Avast, or F-Secure can provide better Behavioral Protection (in a modern meaning) than Avira. Currently, all those AVs get top scores in Real-World tests. Anyway, more information about "the execution of files in a controlled environment" would be required to make a definite conclusion.
