Why do they put Avast for paid version versus Avira for free version? While on the last av-comparatives we saw the opposite :D

Who knows the real reason,but according to Softpedia Avast!'s script blocker and sandbox were not involved in the results,due to the type of test...

If sandbox and script blocker weren't used, then it was simple like avast free, wasn't it?

For sure they are not scanning the same things. You're comparing apples with oranges.

I just do not agree with (at least) one phrase of the article:

In the end, choosing between a paid or free of charge antivirus depends entirely on your needs and computer usage knowledge.
To use the free avast antivirus is both a sign of knowledge and wisdom :)
The best things in life are free.
