Since this test is also over 2 weeks old and avast 5.1.864 has now been released as a regular version release. But if you absolutely need protection, look into ESET NOD32. My two cents, the best anti-virus is Common Sense 2014. If you put a gun to my head and made me put those in order of best to worst though, Id have to say Avira, Avast, and AVG. I also feel it a bit strange to use a early beta build for any testing, as you don't know if there are any underlying issues that might have an impact. My personal favorite free solution is MSE, but its still not fantastic. So I decided to do a complete and complex test in order to evaluate the detection of this product using a total of 21.390 viruses between the 18th of October to 24th of. Though in theory the ashQuick explorer right click scan is the most sensitive, but you didn't change its settings either (image1), so effectively you wouldn't have been looking for PUPs or the Highest sensitivity at all based on your video as you change the file system shield settings, which has nothing to do with the scan you did. Many visitors asked me which is Comodo’s Antivirus 2012 (5.8) detection rate and how good it is to prevent an infection.
COMODO VS AVIRA FULL
If you want the highest settings you would have to create a custom scan or if you are doing just a select folder scan in the Scan Computer section, as the Quick and Full System scans are pre-defined scans and there isn't much that you can change in there.


or for the ashQuick (right click scan) that you did in your test. Your test is somewhat flawed as at the start when you purport to be setting avast to the highest scan settings, you are changing the sensitivity for the on-access Real-Time Scans, file system shield and not for the on-demand scans in the Scan Computer section.
