So if an antivirus like Avira doesn't lender financial support to these three ''unknown'' testing organizations, they red flag Avira?
Outside of not giving Avira a high recommendation for it's lack of testing, the author sure liked Avira.
That's a good enough recommendation for me. If you want one of the top two free antivirus programs, then pick either Bit Defender or Avira. All the others look up to these 2 (my opinion).
