Well I don't care whether PCWorld recommends paid AVs or not, as avast won "Free Antivirus" comparative. ;)
As you know even AV-comparative awarded Symantec as GOLD prize...

It at least give them credit for saying you can have as good a protection as a paid suite by using things like Threatfire and a third-party firewall in addition to a free antivirus.

I wonder if their use of the term Malware included Trojans, Rootkits and other so called "Viruses" or if they were just testing so called "Malware"
If they were just testing so called "Malware" then their published test results may be a bit misleading because a number of so called "Anti-Malware" free programs are compatible with Avast AV Free. So a combination may have a very high blocking rate and still at no cost.
Does anyone know the answer to this questionz?

Yeah... I've like to see... but, yes... and i think some of you will agree with me.
Avast needs to start the improve seriously with the 0-day malware cause the only Con i actually find, it's just that... the rest, Avast beats them all (free anti-virus competitors) easily.

Gratz to Avast! Avast protects me ;D

Agreed. Especially MBR malware that is becoming a very serious issue. Most customers that come to out repair shop has some form of severe rootkit. Within the last 2 months 75% have had MBR malware.

My bad. :)
I should have been specific on the question.
What kinds of "Malware" were included in the test?
Types of Malware
The more you educate yourself on malicious software, the better off you'll be. Malware is not a virus. In fact, it consists of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, rootkits and many other nasty infections. Some of these programs are more of an annoyance than anything, while others pose a serious threat to your computer. Regardless of the type, each of them offer their own unique security threat, and they should be avoided at all costs.
For a list of the types of Malware see link.

Hopefully the question is now clear enough :)
Tests can be designed to favor one software vs others.
I use Avast because I found that it works very good and is easy to configure and use. :)

Congratulations.

I think Avast's behavior blocker needs to work and not only look pretty. And congrats Avast :)
I can't understand how MSE scored better than comodo... strange if you ask me. I wonder if they had D+ on.

There are more behaviour shield improvements (more filters/rules, etc.) scheduled for avast 5.1.
