Avira detected 89 percent of my samples, the same as IObit Advanced SystemCare Ultimate. Results in my own hands-on tests were mixed. Bitdefender came close with 17.5, and both Bitdefender and Kaspersky Anti-Virus earned perfect scores in all the other tests. In the three-part test by AV-Test Institute, Avira scored 18 of 18 possible points, matching Kaspersky's score. Along with several others, Avira earned the top rating, AAA, from London-based SE Labs. It also passed one of two difficult tests by London-based MRG-Effitas (few products pass both). In four tests by AV-Test Institute, Avira earned two Advanced+ and two Advanced certifications.
