The malware scanners by Microsoft, ESET and Kaspersky has received the highest certification level in the latest proactive and retrospective tests by AV Comparative.
AntiVir by Avira actually detected more than Microsoft, ESET and Kaspersky were able to detect but due to many false positives by AntiVir in this round of test, Avira was penalized together with GDATA and BitDefender.
The previous proactive and retrospective tests was done last November. Similar to this month's test result, Avira has the highest detection rate followed by, Kaspersky.
Following the track records of malware scanners, you will come up on which antivirus to consider, the next time you want to replace your antivirus protection (whether you want a standalone or suite).
You can read the full review at the testing website.
