Avira Anti Virus Review

My first thoughts after installing Avira Anti Virus was that the product was easy to use and did not slow down my computer - which is a major issue that I look for when running an Anti Virus, than and of of course detection rates.

Before I install any Anti Virus, I check out a few sources first, as some Anti Virus solutions out there can become almost like a virus unto themselves. I first Googled "Avira Anti Virus Reviews" and went throught the top 10 review sites. Now you have to be careful of some of these sites as the top performers can sometimes get to the top of the list buy purchsing that spot. After going through some of the top 10 review sites - Avira ranked anywhere from 3rd to 7th.

Next i go to the number one source on Anti Virus Solutions and thats av-comparatives.org. They have a new test just out Real-World Protection-Test Factsheet March 2013 in this test Avira finishes with a respectable 98.9% rating. The next test i look at is the File-Detection Test March 2013 on which Avira scored well at 99.6% and also had a low % of false positives.

After running Avira Anti Virus on my system for 2 weeks - i was impressed and give this product a Geek Aproved Stamp.

A little malware goes a long way

A report in the Boston Herald describes the sad story of Michael Fiola, a former investigator with the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents. To make a long story short, Fiola's state-issued notebook computer became infected with malware, and subsequently overloaded with pornography, including child pornography. IT staff noticed, Fiola was fired and the matter turned over to the Massachusetts State Police who filed a criminal complaint. According to Fiola, his friends all ran.

Now a forensic investigation of Fiola's notebook, performed by nationally recognized computer forensic analyst Tami Loehrs, has shown that the pornography got there via outside attacks through the malware compromise. Forensic investigations performed for the state Attorney General's office concurred, and the court cleared Fiola just recently.But the Department of Industrial Accidents isn't impressed.

They told the Herald "We stand by our decision."Go figure. As Loehrs told the Herald, "As soon as you mention child pornography, everybody's senses go out the window."In fact, the notebook had been running "corrupted virus-protection software" according to Loehrs. Since the state issued the notebook that raises the possibility it is culpable.The matter is far from over.

Fiola intends to sue the DIA for "destroying our lives."

Makes you think eh....
