Hi All,

Avira AntiVir Premium is the product of the year Fri, 12 December 2008
AV-Comparatives.org awards Avira’s solution for home users as the best
anti-virus solution of the year 2008

Tettnang, 12 December 2008 – The anti-virus software testing specialists at
AV-Comparatives e.V. have chosen Avira AntiVir Premium as the best anti-virus
solution of 2008. The demands of the international test center headquartered
in Austria are extremely high. All products tested have to prove their
above-average detection rate over several periodical tests and special
attention is given to proactive detection. The test also requires that there
should be virtually no false alarms and that scanning does not affect the
computer’s performance. Crashes, system interruptions and annoying software
errors are some of the other knock-out criteria for AV-Comparatives. Avira
passed all tests with flying colors.

.... Sorry, a fatal error has occured. You're dead.

I've been running PCcillin for 4 or 5 years. They ****ed
me off when the auto updated and charged my credit card.
SO.........I'm kinda leaning toward Avira 2009
proffesional to put on my 3 comps. The one thing I think
I will miss from PCcillin though is the ability to tell
who connects to my network, without having to look at
router logs. Does Avira have this feature in there
firewall section?

Avira and Kaspersky were head & shoulders above all the other vendors.
