[QUOTE="Anthony Qian, post: 1077520, member: 91446"] Same here. I dislike how the Avira engine often copies the detection names of ESET and Kaspersky without conducting its own thorough analysis. Avira frequently uses ESET or Kaspersky's detection with random letter suffixes, but ESET or Kaspersky can detect the same threat variant using the same detection while Avira cannot. Additionally, the Avira engine relies too heavily on cloud. Also, I dislike Avira's attitude towards sample analysis: 1. Avira analysts spent several months analyzing some malware samples, but they have not yet produced any results so far.

[ATTACH type="full" width="633px" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-02 at 21.41.59.png"]281882[/ATTACH] 3. I have submitted an initially misidentified backdoor trojan sample (which was initially flagged by ESET as Adware, though this classification was not very accurate) to Avira. The analyst at Avira seemingly replicated ESET's initial adware detection without conducting a thorough analysis. This particular sample (found at [URL='https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/834d6ef5cb4aecd08516557159a1cd4d6f6459ea8922aacaff9091dfd97251e4']VirusTotal[/URL]) is, in my belief, if subjected to proper analysis, easily classifiable as a trojan rather than adware... [ATTACH type="full" width="628px" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-02 at 21.50.01.png"]281883[/ATTACH] Anyway, I really hope F-Secure can replace the Avira engine... [/QUOTE]
