Avira AntiVir Version 9.0 March 19, 2009

Hey guys,

Many people I know have become staunch users of the free personal antivirus solution – Avira AntiVir Personal.

It is, in my opinion, much better than the ever popular avast and AVG. It uses far less system resources and has a much higher detection rate.

Their new version – 9.0 – was released a couple of days ago and is a very much improved version. I would strongly recommend it.

So its been a while since i last posted, but there were adequate reasons for this.

Anyways, what better way to jump back in than talking about the latest and greatest Computer Security Solutions.
This was brought to my attention by www.KezNews.com .

The following are what the renowned www.av-test.org has deemed to be the best Security Software(s) out there in 2008 -so far anyway.

“The rankings with the best Windows antivirus for this year, considering just the 2008 editions that were tested by AV-Test, and in terms of malware, adware and spyware detection, have WebWasher-GW (with detection rates for malware of 99.85% and for adware and spyware of 99.86%), AVK (G Data) (99.91% – 99.85%), TrustPort (99.63% – 99.82%)and AntiVir (Avira) (99.32% – 99.15%)in the first four positions.

The list continues with the remaining antivirus tested out of the total 30 security solutions. The detection rates for malware, as well as adware and spyware are for Trend Micro 98.72% – 95.14%; Sophos 98.10% – 98.83%; Nod32 (Eset) 97.85% – 96.33%; Microsoft 97.79% – 91.50%; BitDefender 97.77% – 98.77%; Kaspersky 97.17% – 92.02%; Norton (Symantec) 95.70% – 98.62%; Panda 95.62% – 95.57%; McAfee 95.58% – 98.56% etc.”
