Re: February AV Comparatives are out.



Truth be told, it normally does beat KAV by a little bit. Both products are known for very good detection, though.

It didn't two years ago at this time, and it might not always.

Just a summary of the results as I see it, considering all of the other players are either A) inferior or B) the same engine, or C) F-Secure (poor client).

Of course if you have 98% and a stable/fast real-time scanner you're still perhaps doing better than KAV.

I don't think Avira was the same program at all 2-3 years ago so you are probably right. It has been winning for a while though. Glad to see you are interested in it's rise to the top.

And the test was done with a soon to be obsolete engine. I wish AV-Comparatives had been able to use the new Avira 8 engine.

I just got Avira Premium not to long ago. Its actually a free 6 month trial. However. When its up. I will be buying it. Will the new engine be a free upgrade?

I'm quite sure it would be. Avira licenses are measured in years, not versions.
