Title: Anti-Virus comparative
Post by: housi on December 01, 2007, 11:59:11 AM

Hi
Under http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2007_08.php (http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2007_08.php) I found the august 07-AV-Comparatives. As a avast-Pro user since more than 3 years I'im lightly disappointed about the avast-results. Yes, I've seen that the tested avast is 4.7.1029.
Regards
housi

You aren't allowed to link directly to results (terms of the site) only to the main page, so your link won't work I believe.

It is forbidden to provide the tables or results in full or in parts on other sites! Please just refer a link to www.av-comparatives.org

I'm not sure what your disappoint is exactly perhaps you can expand. avast got an advanced rating and wasn't far off getting an advanced+

If you read the test environment and conditions you will take the opposite conclusion, indeed 8)
