As one of the users of Avira Personal, I'd rather say the unreliable update servers are it's weakness...

Are you talking about version 4.8 or the beta?

Beta is in beta so we cant judge. ;)

The Avira server is slow like a hell but has a great detection rate.

I can also say we cant be perfect. But we can became !

Mr.Agent

we can never say avast is perfect and it will never be perfect, since other people choose other security software rather than avast  ;)

Avira update servers are always busy. Plus the annoying pop-ups. I wonder why its not classified as an adware.
