Yes, it is some what strange that avira free scored more when compared avira premium... avira premium has better scanning engine than avira free....

I put avast in blue eset in green and pink line to show you avast won over eset.
It seems Avira Free and Avira Pro weren't tested at the same time:http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archive/summaryWhile the Pro version was tested four times during October and April, the Free was only tested twice. That's why they have different result in there.Avira Free and Pro use same engine and same Virus database, only difference is that Avira paid version (Premium/Professional) has ProActive (silent Behavior Guard / Cloud) and Web/Mail guard which Avira free has not. The Difference between Premium and Professional is ability to scan network drives and other managements over network which Premium/Free has not.
I am surprised that there are a lot of AV software under their list, i didn't think about learning some of their names

False positives are no big deal as long as they aren't critical system files.
