  Avira AntiVir Premium

  Good...but far from perfect

  by: emperordarius on 06-Aug-2008 11:50:38 AM

  Pros: Good detection

  Easy to use

  Cons: Lacks any kind of self protection.

  Mediocre at removal.

  Spyware detection rate could be better.

  Huge amount of false positves.

  Heuristics easilly bypassed by packed/crypted/hex edited samples.

  Lacks a real behaviour blocker
