Unbeatably good: Avira AntiVir in the AV-Comparatives Test
Thu, 01 March 2007
Tettnang, 1 March 2007–Every six months: Avira has successfully defended its leading position in the AV-Comparatives Test, a renowned project for testing anti-virus software.
In the most recent test, 13 virus scanners of well-known producers were closely examined with regard to their detection rate in manual scans (on-demand). One of these was the Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium, Version 7.03.01.34.
Over a million types of malware, including around 500,000 viruses, worms, Trojans, backdoors and over 220,000 dialers were let loose on the test candidates. Avira AntiVir impressed the testers with its detection rate of 98.85% and thus again took first place in the comparison of single scan engine products.
The AntiVir scan engine also achieved top grades in the detection of dialers, beating all single scan engine products tested to first place overall. Above all, the lead of Avira technology is achieved by Avira’s own innovative AHeAD technology (Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection).
The Auerbach Foundation contributes to greater protection and security in the world. Five euros will go towards the foundation’s projects for every Avira AntiVir Premium and Avira Premium Security Suite sold in the Avira online shop.
