Have a look at: http://www.av-comparatives.org/
I normally follow their reports, and according to them, AVIRA is better than AVAST. But make up your own mind.

I also use that website. Interesting results for some antivirus options. For me it's AVG Internet Security if I can get it free or heavily discounted (which is usually the case), otherwise ESET Smart Security. TuneUp Utilities is another great piece of software worth paying for, as is Malwarebytes.

I don't trust their testing methods, you can't test each component separately and expect to get an accurate result. Also their testing procedure relies heavily on static detection. I mean what normal user would willingly disable their anti virus to knowingly install malware ?
Rather go with Dennis technology labs as they test the anti virus as a normal user would use it.

Avast and MBAM. The only two you ever need and the first programs to install on any new PC.
