I think, Avira is the best free antivirus program for this year. Why not AVG? Yeah, AVG is good, more protection like e-mail, spyware, and search guard, but now I’m talking about antivirus, Avira Personal give more protection to viruses, trojans, worms, but lack about spyware and other threat (sob). Avira give quicker complete scan and lighter memory usage, below 10K, AVG 8.0 Free eats about 30~50K, this is also my reason to change my mind to Avira.
Avira is easy to use. The realtime guard is good, the reaction of the guard is fast and will show you a window that give you an information and choices, what do you want to that file, quarantine it, deny it, and many more.
Unfortunately, this antivirus have some…. yeah, for me, many false detection. I have about 14 keygen/crack program and 2 of them are detected as trojans, and of course, thanks to the fast realtime guard, when it comes to false detection, I choose ignore because I know it’s a fine & worked crack, but because “it’s” fast realtime guard, the window pop-up again, before I can click the crack. I don’t know how to solve this fast detection, I just have to click faster than the realtime guard detect it and it’s mean 5 times to choose ignore and 1 click to execute the crack, total 6 clicks to execute the fine crack. In complete scan progress, it always wait the confirmation from user when it detect threat and pause the scan, so you can’t leave the computer for a long time, because if it detect a threat, it will pause the scan and wait for your confirmation, the scan can be damn long if you leave your computer for a long time, this is where AVG is better at, you can wait or leave your computer for a long time and when it finished, you can see the detailed information.
So, my conclusion is….
If you want an antivirus with complete protection and free, choose AVG. If you want a light, fast, free and good detection antivirus program, I recomend you Avira Personal Edition Classic. I just like a light, fast, and free antivirus, so I choose Avira AntiVir Personal, but if AVG is lighter, I will choose it. LOL
