Add Context Menu Option to Extract / Unpack Files from MSI (Microsoft Installer) Package
This is interesting and it does work but, .msi files can also be extracted by 7-zip and other compression utilities.

yeah was about time ;D ... you don't trust an AV just because it's being developed in your country, but because it's good...this should explain the switch :)

Guys, keep in mind it's just one top-ten-list of many, many more and based on the download numbers via this portal only...

But it is anyway impressive, also the fact that Avira is only #8 on the list.

I don't take it too serious either, however it is a hint since Avast has never been in this top-ten before.
