    Request for Avira Review

    Guys, I believe there are a number of Avira users here...

    It seems strange that Raymond has never ever reviewed Avira so far...I know Raymond is a Kaspersky user but it would be nice to read a review by hime regarding Avira..how effective/ineffective it is....

    It would also be nice if he were to do an unbiased comparison between Avira and Kaspersky (I mean the anti-virus only, not the security suite)

    Therefore, I am requesting our dear Raymond sir to kindly do us this favor. If any one of you agree, please say so in this thread...I need some support to show that there's demand for Avira's review....thanks.

    P.S. Hope Raymond reads this.
    They call me the mysterious one...
    my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

    you're using avira premium?

    im asking this not because of me - i dont have problems with my shedule - but because my sister in law* started using free and she ONLY updates at lunch time - bad idea - so last week she didnt update 3/5 days and on saturday i couldnt update either... so i used offline updates but i cant advise her to do so. so is premium that faster? thx.

    *hope this is correct english term

    Nope...I don't use the Premium version (don't bother with registration all that just to get a few months key)

    I am using the free version but the updates does seem faster as compared to a few months ago...no idea why your sister-in-law is not getting her updates...it has been working fine for me so far.

    Go ahead...it might make a difference

    BUT I suggest you try it on your machine first (those 3months, 6months premium version)...avoid yourself embarrassment (and anger by your sis-in-law) in case it doesn't work.
