avast! antivirus delivers results for free

avast! Free Antivirus scored better than some of the best-known paid products in the latest Virus Bulletin test, proving cost is not an effective measurement of quality.

avast! Free Antivirus detected all In-the-Wild viruses – including the newest W32/Virut samples – on a computer running Windows Vista. The tests were made by the Virus Bulletin, an independent authority on computer security.

“With extra kudos for prettiness, reliability and ease of testing, avast! comfortably wins another VB100 award,” wrote John Hawes, team director of Virus Bulletin’s VB100 testing program, in his August 2010 review.

In addition to spotting 100% of the In-the-Wild viruses, avast! Free Antivirus was a top performer in VB’s battery of malware detection tests, beating out paid products from McAfee and Symantec.
