Retrospective tests show Avast at 18% and Avira at 53%
Retrospective / ProActive Test November 2006

the comparative tests show Avast at 92%, AVG at 91% and Avira at 99.51%
Anti-Virus comparative August 2006

again, anything 90% or higher on the comparitive and 45% or higher on the retrospective is worth using.
Yeah, then on some older ones, AntiVir is down to 14%, it varies month by month, some might have highs, other months they are low
