Have you tested again recently? I am curious because you said you didn't bother with NOD32 in your testing of Kaspersky and others! :p

I also said I didn't bother because I'd recently tested it and it had let malware through. :p To be fair it wasn't that bad, but Avira Free Edition did better, and is... well... free.
 
I am just a bit surprised really as every computer I have come across with Avira on, it was a joke.

Have you got any details about the specific malware NOD32 let through? My company is an Eset partner as we consider them to be the best. However, if a free product is doing better in tests, then there is a problem! :p

Not off-hand, no. But I did submit all missed samples to Eset at the time. Don't forget Avira isn't a "free" product as such; the Free Edition has the same engine as their paid-for Premium and Security suites, just minus the web shield.
